i'm in the process of packaging protobuf3: https://github.com/Pr0Ger/protobuf3 this is an implementation of protocol buffers 2 for python 3.according to debian policy, this should be named python3-protobuf3, but i think this name isn't ideal
I don't know anything about anything about Python, but if packaging policy says that the package name should be named after the module name, and it turns out that the package name is too generic or misleading or otherwise inadequate, then that's only because the module name had exactly the same problem. So please get it renamed upstream. This is not something that should be papered over by deviating from the usual naming policy.
