Debian cannot provide more than one Python module named socketio, have them
co-installable, and make them both work in Python via "import socketio"
without taking some sort of special steps to choose one. It's exactly the
same problem as having two C libraries both trying to be named libfoo.so.0.
The policy has been useful here, because you have found that there is
a problem now, not later.
(I don't have a general solution to the problem of upstreams naming things
as generically as this either.)
