Strange, I've never seen a package name with a dot in it prior to the
version number. A casual listing from:
$ apt-cache search . | cut -d" " -f1 | grep "\."

doesn't seem to turn anything up.

Perhaps you can consider packaging it as lazr-restfulclient instead?

I know for Perl modules that we use a lib<module name>-perl pattern.
I'm not sure if something similar exists for Python.
