Who are we to decide that names of packages in Debian should be
different from what upstream decided? That's *very* confusing for our
users. I could have done the same kind of example with egg names and
package names...
# sudo apt-get install python-foo-bar
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package python-foobar
[ ... ]
While the import thing should be easy to find (ie: cat
/var/lib/dpkg/info/python-foo.list once the package is installed), the
egg name vs package name is a *way* more confusing. Besides this, our
priority should be our users, and I am convinced that most aren't python
developers.
