[python3-ldap] Library name change?

[python3ldap]

Hi Gary,
thanks for your explanation. Now the reason for the two different
packages is clear to me.
I'm still not sure which is the best way to fulfill Brian's request.
We could leave the package name as is (python3-ldap) and let the
distribution mantainers package it with different names. Or we could
change the name to follow the rule "python" plus <package_name> (that
I find quite resonable).

I see a possible name clash with the former python-ldap from Michael
Stroeder because the two libraries are (still) not compatible:
python-ldap3 should be misinterpreted as a newer release of
python-ldap. It should be useful to know if Michael has intention to
port its library to python3 officially or not, because in the latter
case we could use that name anyway.

Bye,
Giovanni
