In this case it seems there are quite a few packages that go against
this convention. 'python-pip', for example, is mostly used as a CLI
*application*.

This has been actually causing me confusion. At some point I was
wondering how I should call a package I was writing and it seems I
erroneously added "python-" taking example from other packages :/
