I have seen this claim before (from you?). Why do you believe that the 
name should be different? Current name reflects naming of the Python 
module it contains, to follow Debian Python Policy.

According to Debian Perl Policy, the binary package for the part of the 
upstream "sugar" package that contains jarabe should be named 
"python-jarabe".

Other parts of same source package could possibly either be stuffed into 
same binary package package or into its own, named either "sugar" as 
now, or sugar-shell or sugar-jarabe reflecting an eventual upstream 
rename of same package (else I see no reason to change name for Debian).
