[Python-apps-team] Bug#864545: pydocstyle: provide the public modules in a separate package

[Ghislain Antony Vaillant]

Package: pydocstyle
Version: 2.0.0-1~exp1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I am in the process of packaging flake8-docstrings, which integrates the
features of pydocstyle to the flake8 source code checker.

flake-docstrings uses pydocstyle as a library, not an executable, so it
would be worth providing the public modules in a new python3-pydocstyle
package and have pydocstyle depend on python3-pydocstyle. This setup is
what the Debian Python library style guide recommends [1].

Cheers,
Ghis
