kdev-python package should be made to align with upstream's kdevelop-python

[Shriramana Sharma]

Upstream has recently added a package kdevelop-python containing the Py 3 plugin for KDevelop. When Kubuntu inherits this, we see two packages kdev-python for Py 2 and kdevelop-python for Py 3. Obviously, the naming situation is less than optimal. I have submitted an upstream bug asking for the kdevelop-python package to be renamed to kdevelop-python3 since it applies to Py 3 only. See https://bugs.debian.org/774141

Kubuntu should also align with upstream in the sense that the kdev-python should be renamed kdevelop-python once upstream moves the Py 3 plugin to kdevelop-python3. In fact, it would seem that kdev-python i.e. the Py 2 plugin need not be packaged separately downstream at all, and should instead be done upstream.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I uploaded a sync (plus transitional package and breaks/replaces) to the zesty new queue.
