Yes, this is a problem with the current Debian Python policy: it assumes
distribution authors will not collide on package names.

I don't have an answer, though I will point out that whatever the
solution is, it will be incompatible with the current Debian Python
policy for at least one of those packages.

We need to discuss the problem and find a general solution that accepts
the reality that upstream authors sometimes don't check whether the
Python package name is already taken.
