I think this different from what I'm asking, since in that case the
software is actually called "OpenOffice.org." In Perl at last,
packages are named like "Package::Name", while the Debian packages are
called "libpackage-name-perl." If the only justification for naming
Python modules that way is that it is more similar to the Python
module names, one could make a similar argument for
libpackage::name-perl (which is just plain strange)

Yep, that's what I meant by 'version part' -- though not part of the
actual package version, it does refer to a series (apache2.0 vs
apache2.2 for example) of packages. This, I consider to be distinct
from other packages like the Python ones.
Is this a Python-specific phenomenon, or do other packages in Debian
exhibit the same patterns?
