2) This should be an ITA for python-imaging instead, which has been
Pillow-based for a long time.
The Python imaging library was replaced by Pillow as far as I can tell,
and seems to have been unmaintained since 2011. Could you give me a link
to the library you're talking about please?
As I said, our python-imaging packages have been from Pillow for quite
some time. Technically, at this point they should be named python-pil
or the like, but the package name long predates the PIL namespace being
mandatory (not to mention the Pillow fork in general), but I never
renamed the packages to avoid the complications involved therein.
Either way, "pillow" isn't the right name IMO because users don't
"from Pillow import", they "from PIL import".
