I usually name the source package name like the upstream package name
now (so, without the python-). In this case, I would however use pyasdf,
since this also an upstream name for the package, and since it reads the
asdf *format*, I would not take this name for a language specific
package (likely, a hypothetical tcl package would then be tcl-asdf).

However, there is an upstream/pypi name confusion with another
format/package (*seismic* data instead of *scientific* data) which they
should resolve -- see the comment from Christoph Deil and the according
guthub issue. I will take whatever comes out there as a package name.

Cheers

Ole
