Fair point indeed, and I fully agree that ideally the problem should be solved
at the python module level.

I'm wondering if you or other senior, more experienced developers could
suggest what would be the recommended solution for the namespace conflict,
taking into account:

a) DNA-jellyfish is an stablished Debian package since 2011 [1]
b) STR-jellyfish is on PyPI [2] since 2010 (version 0.1)
c) both packages started their Github repos around the same time (summer 2010)
d) both packages seem to be a bit "niche" (popcon stats for "jellyfish" [3] and
"beets" [4], the package that would depend on STR-jellyfish, seem to hint that
they are both modestly used within Debian and cater to specific groups of
users)
e) other considerations I'm probably missing!

I would personally place a bit more weight on the fact that STR-jellyfish is
already on PyPI (based on the rationale that it is arguably the "de facto"
repository for Python packaging); but, again, I am relatively new to
Debian practices and arguing for keeping consistency within the Debian
repository seems reasonable to me as well.
