Bug Description
dh_pythonX appears to go through the following series of checks when generating dependencies for python packages:
1) check package specific pydist overrides
2) check for package in dh-python fallback files
3) check for package using dpkg -S
these last two steps appear the wrong way around (at least to me); we are transitioning a number of python-oslo* packages due to upstream switching to unnamespaced packages - however the check in 2) kicks in first, so we end up with the old binary package names in generated Depends.
Also the fallback files are generated from Debian unstable, so is not great for Ubuntu first transitions.

in pydist/ generate_ fallback_ list.py you can change SOURCE (I can change it to try SOURCE env. var. first, to make it easier for you)
and then invoke `make dist_fallback` to generate new fallback file
