I think this is something that the two upstream projects should
discuss and come to an agreement on the right outcome, since the
current set of names is confusing and overlapping. Perhaps the two
projects will end up getting merged into one project, or one of them
deprecated or one or both of them renamed.

There are no reverse dependencies in Debian, but this is going to be
tricky for users who previously installed python3-louvain.deb from
python-louvain upstream and then after upgrading they suddenly get
python3-louvain.deb from louvain-igraph with presumably an
incompatible API etc.
