The *source* package should be named python-berkleydb and the *binary* package 
should be name python3-berkleydb.  You can see an example of how that is done 
for the python-slip10 package:

https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/python-slip10

https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/packages/python-slip10/-/blob/debian/
master/debian/control?ref_type=heads

It is done this way so that the source package does not change when newer 
versions of Python are release, and also so that two different binary packages 
can be shipped during transitions if that is desirable.
