Why not python-1.5_1.5.2, zope-2.3.3 and similar binary packages?  I
think this namenumber scheme is ugly and it looks strange.
name-version is more clear IMO.

Why not python instead of python?  I want to be able to "apt-get
install python" and "dpkg -p python".  Then python could confilct with
python-base, and in that way force all old module packages that depend
on python-base to get updated to their new version that depend on
python (>= 1.5), python (<<1.6).
