Re: Need help with naming scheme in debian/control for python library

So my question is should I rename the source field to “python3-
packagename” too or will it cause any conflicts?
the common sense is to prefix the source package with "python" without
any version numbers.
And the bin package for a library with "python3" to mark the Paython
main version the package is usable with.
Contrary bin packages which contain documentation only then get the
prefix "python" again, but also a suffix "doc".
e.g.
Source: python-upstream_name
...
Package: python3-upstream_name
Description: Shiny neat Python library to do $things
...
Package: python-upstream_name-doc
Description: Shiny neat Python library to do $things (Documentation)

There you have a full overview of existing packages maintained by the DPT.
