When you say "follow that", do you mean for the Debian source package name (.dsc, like dbus-python), or for the Debian binary package name (.deb, like python3-dbus)? The binary package name should be mechanically derived from what you import. If you 'import pyls_jsonrpc', then python3-pyls-jsonrpc is right. If you 'import pyls.jsonrpc', then python3-pyls.jsonrpc, and so on. The source package name is less important, and could either resemble the binary package name or match what upstream calls it. smcv
