[Python-modules-team] Bug#749321: Poor transition path

[Jeremy Lainé]

I think the transition to pypdf2 was handled rather poorly. The module
name is different, so I would expect a python-pypdf2 package instead of
a misleading python-pypdf .. which does not contain a "pypdf" module.

What I would suggest:

- add a new python-pypdf2 package

- if we really want to stop shipping python-pypdf, at least provide a
minimal pypdf/__init__.py which does:

from PyPDF2 import *

(possibly with a deprecation warning)

This would avoid breaking all reverse depends.
