Bug#982458: python3-pyshp: package name does not follow Python Policy recommendation

Package: python3-pyshp
Version: 2.1.3+ds-1
Severity: normal
The Python Policy (/usr/share/doc/python3/python-policy.txt.gz) says
(section 3.3): "The binary package for module foo should preferably be
named python3- foo, if the module name allows. ..."
This makes it easier to find the Debian package: I was looking for the
module "shapefile" and ended up having to use apt-file search (which
is not obvious) to find it. It would be good to rename this binary
package as python3-shapefile (and keep python3-pyshp as a transition
package) in bullseye+1.
Thanks,
Julian
