Bug#806716: ITP: python-jellyfish -- Python library for doing approximate and phonetic matching of strings



Hello Andreas,

and thanks for the heads up! I did notice the potential naming conflict and
the existence of the DNA-related package you mention on your reply, and opted
for simply prepending the "python-" prefix to this package (as upstream also
chose just "jellyfish" as the official name of the software).

I'd be happy to make the differentiation more obvious, although I could not
find the official Debian guidelines for solving these cases. Would it be
desirable to rename the package to something less prone to confusion, or would
it be enough to include some clarification string on the package description?

Best regards,
