Is there are reasonable justification for that??

It appears to me that this bug was closed without solution being clearly 
articulated.

Is it not a bug in python-mysql.connector packaging? I'm not 100% convinced.

If not a bug, after reading this report dozen of times I still have no idea of 
possible solution - even wiki update is not clear what can be done.

The problem is not yet solved and I suspect mere mortals like me who might be 
reading this report after archival may be struggling as much as I do to 
understand the possible options on order resolve name space collision between 
python packages,
where one package is not following recommended/up-to-date way of using 
dh_python2 for some reason.

Hence I filed another bug report: #663037 "please use dh_python2 and up-to-
date debhelper".

Unfortunately we don't have workaround for the problem clearly described.

I doubt that patching upstream code in the other package could be a viable 
solution for not updating python-mysql.connector in order to use dh_python2.

Is there are any other alternatives?

Dmitry.
