Welcome to the team!

Yup, policy-complaint binary package names should be:

python-django-tables2
python-django-filters
python-ajax-select

Source package names can of course stay as they are.

Speaking of which, django-ajax-selects debian/rules does this:

	cp -r ajax_select/static debian/django-ajax-selects/usr/share/pyshared/ajax_select

/usr/share/pyshared is an implementation detail of Python helpers; you 
should not rely on its existence. (In fact, now that we support only one 
Python version, I hope we get rid of it soon.)
