policy: Clarify module package naming

Simon McVittie requested to merge smcv/python3-defaults:naming-corner-cases into master

As discussed in the thread starting at https://lists.debian.org/debian-python/2019/11/msg00125.html, it is not always clear to developers what should be done in cases where the module name is not obvious:

  • if the name contains underscores or capital letters
  • if the name in the PKG-INFO is not the same as the name you import

Clarify this based on what I believe to be current best-practice.

Signed-off-by: Simon McVittie smcv@debian.org
Closes: #945823
