Migrating a library to a fork with a new name

[Bernhard Schmidt <berni@debian.org>]

Hi,

I have been maintaining a small Python library to make SNMP queries in 
Bullseye (no objection to put it under the team umbrella btw).

https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/python-easysnmp

unfortunately Easysnmp is dead upstream, see 
https://github.com/easysnmp/easysnmp .

There is an active fork that has gained a lot of momentum, which I would 
like to switch to in Trixie

https://github.com/carlkidcrypto/ezsnmp

Unfortunately (?) they decided to switch the module name from easysnmp 
to ezsnmp, so I can't just switch over.

Is there a battle-tested way to deal with that situation to keep 
existing scripts working? Something like a transitional package that 
imports the new module under the old name? Or would it be better to just 
remove python-easysnmp from Trixie and make a release note entry about it?
