As long as the module is imported with "import vlc", the proper Debian package name is python-vlc for the Python 2 version and python3-vlc for the Python 3 version. So that definitely needs to be fixed. Note that stdeb can be a starting point starting point for packaging from PyPI, but source packages produced by it need some manual work before being uploaded to the archive. For example, fixing the package names is one such thing. Also debian/copyright needs to be checked, etc. And after the first upload to the Debian archive, stdeb is no longer relevant. > I was waiting for some feedback from Sebastian.
