[Python-modules-team] Bug#926211: python3-stdeb: --package argument not respected under Python 3

[Stuart Longland]

Package: python3-stdeb
Version: 0.8.5-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Hi,

Trying to build an updated `docker-compose` binary from
https://github.com/docker/compose.git on our CI server internally using
`stdeb` 0.8.5 on Debian Stretch in a Docker container:

* `python setup.py --command-package stdeb.command sdist_dsc --package
   docker-compose --debian-version=141debian9p8 bdist_deb` produces
  `docker-compose_1.25.0~dev0-141debian9p8_all.deb`
* `python3 setup.py --command-package stdeb.command sdist_dsc --package
   docker-compose --debian-version=140debian9p8 bdist_deb` produces
  `python3-docker-compose_1.25.0~dev0-139debian9p8_all.deb`

Why the discrepancy?
