Definitely not, indeed. The python- prefixes in python-foo and python-foo-doc are not exactly equivalent. The former usage refers to the Python 2 interpreter, the latter refers to Python *the language*. It's unfortunate our naming convention did not explicitly separate between both as Arch packages do, whereby `python` is used for source package and `python2` for binary packages targeting CPython 2.x. Imo, we should just make it clear in policy that source packages should be named `foo` or `python-foo`, and corresponding doc packages should be named `foo-doc` or `python-foo-doc`. Ghis
