The package name should just follow the library name here, and unless
there is a good reason to deviate from the name given by upstream, I
would stay with their name.
Especially for shared libraries, this is not a big problem: they are
usually not installed by hand, but by dependencies. So, the end user
will probably never see them, and so there is no cause for confusion.

I would strongly support this; this is was the mailing list is for.
Another location would be the ITP bug report for the package.
Once the package is in Debian (hopefully soon), we can make use of the
Debian bug system.

This is ugly, since then using the package for Python-2 would also pull
the Python-3 libraries as dependency and vice versa. Both libraries are
used in conjunction, and only rarely together, so it does not make sense
to combine them in one package.
Please put them into separate packages. For the package name of the
Python 3 package I am not sure; please ask on debian-mentors for an
advise.
BTW, something went wrong with the Python-3 library; it is still linked
against Python 2.7, and not Python3:
