So I wouldn't bother renaming the module on pypi. Run stdeb once, fix the package numbes once and that's it. > I can fix the package name, add the copyright info and put the > resulting packaged file in some git repo.

If you want to maintain it as part of the multimedia team, we'd expect the packaging repo to be hosted on salsa.debian.org. If not, I'll just need a dsc to look at and the repo does not matter to me.
