A simple table with a list of the library names, the debian package names, and the rpm names would provide the information in a way that would be useful to everyone.
I definitely agree, but it would be kind of difficult to maintain. I mean if you supported debian and redhat (should others be considered?), then who's responsibility is it to keep it up to date? And then for Macs would you use names from brew? For Windows what would be done there? Other systems? I might be over complicating things, but still it feels like this could quickly fall out of date (though I guess new libraries are introduced pretty rarely, so maybe this is an unfounded fear).
It's a bit hypothetical anyway. I guess if someone started gathering all of this information it could maybe be added? If not directly into the actual repository then maybe somewhere on the main python website. Having this would definitely be great, but I know I personally don't feel like doing the legwork...
