[python3-ldap] R: R: Library name change?

I find these names over confusing. Can't you use something like python-ldap3-ng and python3-ldap3-ng? I've seen this often when a new implementation is quite different from the previous one.

Bye,

Would python-python3ldap and python3-python3ldap be more acceptable
distro package names? That might help reduce any confusion with
Michael's python-ldap
