Within Debian, wouldn't this be better achieved by having Python 2 packages
that require enum34 depend on python-enum34 directly, as they already do?
python-enum34 could have a Provides on some other name if that helped.
Even oldstable has python3 >= 3.4, so Python 2 (and pypy, which implements
the Python 2 language) is the only reason that enum34 itself has any
value.
The proposed name also isn't really compatible with Debian Python
policies: you can't `import enum_compat` after installing it.
