At present my packaging of openqa (which I hope to get into a state fit
to upload very soon -- a few lintian warnings need addressing) already
produces a package called openqa-client, which includes the scripts such
as openqa-cli and openqa-client.
BTW You can see the current state of play here:
https://salsa.debian.org/philh/openqa
The openqa-client script is obsolescent, so renaming that package to
be openqa-cli would make sense anyway, since that is the script to use
these days, but I think calling what seems to be a python library simply
'openqa-client' would be a bit confusing.
Wouldn't it make sense to put a 'python' in the package name?
I'm not really a python programmer, so probably not the person to
package this, but would be pleased to see it available in Debian, and am
very happy help where I can.
Cheers, Phil.
