Thanks for stating your point of view, Andreas, and no worries in
regards to the priority - I fully understand time is a scarce resource!
I'll try to retake the work on the existing DNA Jellyfish patches at
#819016 (for renaming the module) and append the relevant patches for
renaming the binary package in the next days.

Thanks for the reasonable suggestion! However, taking into account
Andreas' answer, would it be reasonable to wait a sensible amount of
time and see if we manage to fully rename DNA's python-jellyfish before
going through with your suggestion, basically for avoiding the renaming
"dance" for this package and focusing my efforts in the hopefully final
solution?

I'm not familiar enough with the full process, though, and cannot
estimate how long it would take nor if that would be sensible in regards
to the beets' package needs, so I'd basically trust your criteria if
you feel the DNA renaming seems to far in the future.

Best regards,
