no matter what name you'll choose for the binary package (python-pbs
is the best choice, but since it's already taken, I'd use python-pbs-something)...
one of these libraries has to be renamed if you want both in Debian
(current python-pbs provides pbs.py so there will be a file conflict)

it shouldn't be a problem (""pbs" != "bps")
