Thanks for the extra details about how it will be used.  Regardless of the
package name, it will have provides for python3dist(vcs2l) and
python3.14dist(vcs2l), which should satisfy bloom's dependency as long as it's
using the automatic dependency generator, so you could go a few different
routes with the naming.  It could just be just vcs2l (which will get the
necessary provides), or python3-vcs2l (ideally providing vcs2l for
discoverability).  But I think for maximum correctness what I would suggest
would be:

* vcs2l source package
* vcs2l subpackage (that depends on python3-vcs2l) with the commands and shell
completions
* python3-vcs2l subpackage with the library files

Ah, my mistake, I was viewing that test extra from the main branch where that
PR is already merged.  This recommendation can be deferred until the next
version, or you could pull in that PR as a patch to take advantage of it now. 
Either way is fine.
