That's what I had thought, but I've also seen people asserting that the
Debian package name ought to reflect the egg name in cases where it
differs from the top-level Python module name.

Some examples of where the difference between egg name and module name
matters:

- this one:
  - module: pubsub (-> python3-pubsub)
  - egg: pypubsub-*.egg-info (-> python3-pypubsub)
  - is actually python3-pypubsub (named for the egg)

- src:dbus-python:
  - module: dbus (-> python3-dbus)
  - egg: dbus_python-1.2.14.egg-info (-> python3-dbus-python)
  - is actually python3-dbus (named for the module)

- src:pygobject:
  - module: gi (-> python3-gi) and pygtkcompat
  - egg: PyGObject-3.34.0.egg-info (-> python3-pygobject)
  - is actually python3-gi (named for the module)

(Maybe python3-gi should also have Provides: python3-pygtkcompat?)

Is there consensus that the top-level module name is what matters, and not
following the recommendation is a bug?
https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/python-policy/module_packages.html
says "The binary package for module foo should preferably be named
python3-foo, if the module name allows" and "import foo should import
the module", which suggests that it is indeed the name of the top-level
importable module, and not the name of the egg, that matters (which would
imply that -dbus and -gi are correct, and -pypubsub is not).

Is there consensus that not following this recommendation is a *RC* bug?
The bits I quoted above say "should" rather than "must".

Thanks,
