I just realized something.  If I change the name of my package to
python-sidl, that won't change the EGG-INFO, right?  It seems we have an
inherent conflict, which will make it difficult to install both packages
simultaneously. :-(

For now and the lenny release, it seems we need to make the packages
conflict.  Beyond that... time to get upstream involved?  I will write
to my babel people.

In the meantime, I elevated the severity of my bug, and retitled it.
