So basically, Python upstream hijacked a part of the import namespace. Unless they can be convinced to undo that, python-json is clearly at a disadvantage and future JSON consuming Python code will likely use the Python json module since it comes with Python. Therefore python-json needs to be removed or renamed and the reverse dependencies need to adapt accordingly. The python-json upstream should be contacted to find out future plans for it, to decide if removal or renaming is better. The upstreams for the reverse deps probably will want to stay compatible with Python 2.5, therefore they need to be checking for the new Python API vs the old python-json API vs the possible new name for the python-json API and adapt accordingly.
