+1 but I have a question since I'm not a hardcore Django developer.

In many cases we have namespace packages, e.g. zope.*, flufl.*, etc.  Usually
these will be called python-<main>.<sub>, e.g. python-flufl.i18n.

Is there any risk of having confusing names because of a conflict between a
3rd party Django module and a Django subpackage?  e.g. python3-django-foo
vs. python3-django.foo.

I'm sure it's a non-issue in practice.
