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.
