That is rather strange.  If it were a library, I could understand, but
when the software is clearly called Certbot at

  https://certbot.eff.org/

and the distfile is certbot-<version>.tar.gz, it's surprising that the
pkgsrc package name is not just certbot.

I don't think it's a Python thing since there are packages for programs
in pkgsrc written mostly in Python that have not done that.  For
example, there's

  devel/mercurial

But wait, what?!  It seems that

  devel/mercurial 

is a meta package that includes

  devel/py-mercurial

So, maybe it *is* a Python thing!  That seems really bizarre.

pkgsrc Masters, what's the story?
