What worked before that I am breaking?
> If you want to set a new standard (it is not currently enforced), fix
the package's name first and then write some code to enforce the standard.
The current standard is that the full package name is split into a
package-version pair by the first hyphen. This is probably not documented
anywhere, but that's the current practice. This is the standard followed
by `./sage -i` (*), by `sage-fix-pkg-checksums` and by `sage-list-
packages` (until recently when you changed it).
I am pretty sure that no script ever considered `mayavi_2.2.1` as the
package `mayavi_2` with version `2.1`, so I'm wondering why you made it
that way in #18456.
(*) To be more precise, `./sage -i` splits by any hyphen, not just the
first hyphen.
