As there a few more forks (but without releases on pypi) keep the original package name without the -ext, please. Once this fork fest is over, and other forks have kept the name, it will probably be the original name again. This particular fork has the -ext at the end of the name presumably in order to publish on pypi.

Brian, this is not a new package and should get a higher priority as it is in Ubuntu now and old and unmaintained software in an existing package.
