Subpackages are definitely the answer here. There are still several
rational options. If the tool is primary, making the main package be
the upstream name ("foobar") makes sense, with subpackage for the
library ("python3-foobar", "foobar-libs"). If the library is primary,
though, you might want to go for "libfoobar" and "libfoobar-tools".
