<p>
As a special exception to the <package>python3-</package> and
<package>python-</package> binary naming policy, Python modules
intended for use with Django (<package>python3-django</package>/
<package>python-django</package>) should add django to their binary
package names to make it clear they are intended for use with Django
and not general purpose Python modules, i.e.
<package>python3-django-</package> and
<package>python-django-</package> respectively.
Packages intended for use with Django (<package>python3-django</package>/
<package>python-django</package>) are installed in the same namespace as
other python packages for a variety of reasons. Many such packages are
named django_packagename upstream. These are then packaged as
<package>python3-django-package</package> and
<package>python-django-package</package>.
This makes it clear that they are intended for use with Django
and not general purpose Python modules. Debian maintainers are
encouraged to work with their upstreams to support consistent use of
this approach.
