Some packages ship with both importable module as well as a global CLI. So it’s hard to categorize packages on into a single category.

The library should be in a library package manager, and the CLI tool should be installed separately with a dependency on the library. There’s no benefit to mixing these together.

If you hand me a .framework and a .app for macOS, it’s immediately clear which is which. This isn’t an unreasonable standard for distributing programs.
