scrub/xfs_scrub_all.in and tools/xfsbuflock.py are the only python
scripts in xfsprogs.  We ship the first one as-is in the xfsprogs
package and we don't ship the second one at all (it's a debugger tool).

AFAICT neither of them really use dh-python, right?

That is right. dh-python is generally used at build time to generate packages with Python modules, i.e., with files in /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages. That is not the case in xfsprogs.

For xfsprogs, python3 is only a runtime dependency and that is defined in the control file as well.
