Wheel has no mechanism for renaming scripts (or any file) based on the Python version used to install. Instead you would have to build python-version-specific packages for each desired script name.

Note that I'm not trying to borrow any implementation details from wheels, just the file naming conventions (compatibility tags) described in PEP 425. It would still be up to upstream package or distro tools to fiddle the installed file names.
