Yes, the issue is with the module location though. python-deb822 puts
deb822 as a top level module, so it is

  import deb822

whereas the other modules in python-debian live in the debian_bundle
package,

  from debian_bundle import debtags

so it is just an issue of consistency.

I vote for pulling in the latest version of deb822 and keeping it as a
top-level module. The consistency is broken, but there is no transition
to do.

If anyone cared we could also allow them to import it through
debian_bundle, but that is probably not needed.

Thanks,

James
