OK, then what is the script used for?  Checking the documentation, it looks
like it's a setup script for one of the supported captcha types.  But one of
the other captcha types requires a full TeX installation and there's no
discussion about adding dependencies on that.

Honestly this is the kind of thing we'd handle with Suggests:.  Since we don't
have that, personally I'd leave it up to the maintainer to split the package or
not.  Note that for the end user the result is pretty much the same.  No
subpackage, and they have to install a python dep if they want to use that
captcha type.  With a subpackage, they have to install it if they want to use
that captcha type.  I don't see much difference, honestly, as long as the stuff
that needs installing is documented well enough.
