The packages *must* by policy Provide python2-vertica-python and
python3-vertica-python respectively, but they don't absolutely have to
be named that way. The guidelines - by my reading - absolutely require
that the source package name start with 'python-' and the binary
package names start with 'python2-' and 'python3-' , but they leave a
bit of flexibility for what comes after the -. They only say:

"The package name should reflect the upstream name of the Python
module, and should generally take into account the name of the module
used when importing it in Python scripts."

'reflect the upstream name' is not as strict as 'be identical to the
upstream name'. Dropping the repetition of 'python' seems to fit within
the guidelines.

However, 'vertica-python' and 'vertica-python3' are right out, they are
entirely against the guidelines and those names should not be used. If
this package is under review, the reviewer must reject those names.
