Where did Morgan say that "python-" should be taken off?

The change he prposes is s/olpc/sugar/, which I can hardly imagine as
a violation of any Debian Uppercase Policy.

I think the proposal was to rename the *upstream* module called just
"sugar" to "sugar-shell".  At least, this is what was discussed on #sugar.

Afaik, jarabe has not been shipped as an independent module and there
are no plans to do so.

Or does that mean that you have to split it out to a separate package
in order to comply with this D.P.P.?
