Thanks for coming back to that issue, and we really should solve
this!

To be honest: Since the perl pip is older and Ian was considering a
rename to pypip [0] my hope was that we can leave the perl package
as-is and the python package would first change upstream and then in
Debian. (In general I see no advantage of changing two binaries in
Debian.)

CC'ing Ian to get an update on his point of view.

Cheers,
