I can see your point.  I can see Raphael's too.

I do think that upstream third parties using django_foo represents some kind 
of best practice that should be documented and encouraged (but not directly by 
Debian).  

Raphael, do you think that the upstream Django project might be willing to 
make some kind of best practices for naming third party django packages?  If 
they did that, then that would give us a basis for Debian maintainers talking 
to their upstreams about moving to django_.

Over time, that would result in python-django-foo being the correct name 
without any kind of Python policy exception (and we'd limit this to being 
temporary).

How's that?
