As I understand PEP 345, it proposes to introduce dependencies based on
module names, not on project names. This is one of the key points where
it is superior to setuptools; especially, if developers correctly change
the module name when changing the API, the dependencies are clear and
reliable. At the distribution level, we will end up changing the binary
package name, but this is not something you have to worry about.
