The latter, it should be moved into usr/lib/python3/.

Please also run dh_python3 and dh_sip3 in debian/rules (i.e. somehow add
python3,sip3 to the dh --with list).

It is not mandatory but highly recommended to build for all supported
Python 3 versions. At the moment we only have one version (3.5) so this
may be tricky to test, but please take a note for the future.

Re your problem with the __init__.py file:

You can use a python3-pykf5.kitemmodels.pyinstall file for that. This way
the __init__.py will be not part of the package, but generated by the postinst
script on the system if it does not already exist. See dh_python3(1) for
details.
