That "use the name of the import" policy is unfortunate. IMO it should be replaced by the egg name instead, to avoid requirements name substitutions which dh-python is working around in some ugly ways (ie: with a "maintained by hand" list of pydists-overrides). I wish we could have a constructive discussion about this here. Cheers, Thomas Goirand (zigo)
