Why would that matter? It certainly doesn't make any different to the end-user
how the package was created.

What if I put the bindings inside libmtag, as I actually have been thinking on
doing, would I be entitled to name the package libmtag-python then? I don't
think that makes sense.

Plus, it's actually not the case on xapian-bindings, thunarx-python, and even
gstreamer-python (which is actually mentioned as an example) (and probably
others).

My feeling is that this is not a strong requirement, if it was, there should be
a bug report to rename packages such as gstreamer-python, and it should be take
out of the examples.

And if there is indeed such a rule that in-package bindings can be named
$NAME-python, it should be mentioned in the documentation. More likely, these
packages have to be renamed as well.
