Package: kdevelop-python
Version: 1.7.0-1

https://packages.debian.org/sid/kdevelop-python gives the description
of this package as "Python 3 plugin for KDevelop". Normally IIUC
python3 related packages are marked as python3 and not just as python.
I submit that it would be advisable to rename the package as
kdevelop-python3 and instead package the Python 2 plugin as
kdevelop-python.

(Should I report a separate bug asking for Py 2 plugin?)

Downstream Kubuntu has already independently packaged the Python 2
plugin as kdev-python since last two releases
(http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=kdev-python&searchon=names),
and is also now inheriting the kdevelop-python package from Debian
(http://packages.ubuntu.com/source/vivid/kdevelop-python) which leads
to an infelicitous naming situation there i.e. kdev-python for Py 2 vs
kdevelop-python for Py 3.

While I am going to report a separate bug downstream to align with
Debian on the naming issue, I believe Debian should also rename the
kdevelop-python package to kdevelop-python3 to make way for
kdevelop-python for a Py 2 package.

Thanks.

After more than 3 years, this bug can be closed, since upstream does
not support Python 2 (even with an hackish way) anymore.
