Luke Macken is working on a few python packages for infrastructure and
has run across an unanticipated naming issue with python-pastedeploy and
python-pastescript[1]_.
Our present naming guidelines [2]_ say to use the name of the python
module when it is imported. The question is how does this map to
submodules? In this case:
import paste.deploy
import paste.script
This could reasonably be named python-pastedeploy or
python-paste-deploy. Do we want to specify that submodules be named one
or the other or leave it up to the packager?
For what it's worth, Debian has python-pastedeploy but also
python-twisted-conch so they seem to leave it to the packager ATM.
