There is a nearly equivalent situation with the "dns" namespace.  There are two completely unrelated packages; one provides "DNS" and the other provides "dns".  Obviously they can't both be python-dns in Debian.  One is python{3}-dns and the other is python{3}-dnspython.

If you went down that route, instead of python-python-magic, you'd get python-magicpython.  Personally, I like that a little better, but it's a matter of taste.  Policy doesn't provide any guidance for this case.
