This distinction does not practically exist; any Python package, even if 
primarily a program, can be specified and imported as a library in 
another as a dependency. See meson, which had to grow flavours when 
meson-python came about.

Putting -pyN as ${PKGNAMESUFFIX} when not the default flavour for those 
cases can be considered however.
