Or perhaps Sebastian has an evil plan to dominate the "git shortlog"
output for the next release cycle.

I went ahead with "bindings/python" yes.

For the Debian package, if we can do get "make install" to do the right
thing then it's a pretty easy thing to add a section to debian/control
and add a could of <package>.install files. If there are any other
python-specific packaging tasks we can move them from
bindings/python/debian to debian as well.

Though that brings up the question of what to name the Debian package
for these bindings. A quick "apt-cache search python" suggests that
python-notmuch might not be a crazy name.

What do you think, Sebastian?
