question:
as dblatex3-0.3.12 does not produce anything in
/usr/bin

but I assume we need one as current

/usr/bin/dblatex
-------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/env python
import sys
import os

package_base = r"/usr/share/dblatex"

from dbtexmf.dblatex import dblatex
dblatex.main(base=package_base)
--------------------------------

Fedora 3.11 seems to have one and Debian has

----------------------------------
#! /usr/bin/python3

# Register the Debian error analyser
from dbtexmf.core import error
from dbtexmf.contrib.debian.errorhandler import DebianHandler
error.set_errhandler(DebianHandler())

from dbtexmf.dblatex import dblatex
dblatex.main('/usr/share/dblatex')
------------------------------------

that seems a simplified version after removing the
error handler
