JFTR: This is a regression in 1.4.0-2 and likely the result for the
fix for #867463. 1.4.0-1 did not only ship the binaries at the same
place, it also shipped a #!/usr/bin/python (i.e. Pyhton 2.x) script in
a python3-* package.

This is probably also the reason why python3-q-text-as-data 1.4.0-1
works in Stretch despite upstream states on
https://harelba.github.io/q/requirements.html clearly: "Python 3.x is
not supported yet."

Accordingly this suspicion of mine seems to be right:
