I think tradition has been to package (2.0) as python-quixote and if
someone needed python-quixote-1.x to make a python-quixote1 package
unless upstream has made the decision to make things parallel
installable (as in gtk2 vs gtk+).

Witness the fact that we have php rather than php5 for instance.

Since this was put in so recently (past month, right?) I'd move FC3 and
FC4 to python-quixote 2.0.  If someone needs quixote-1.2 it can be added
as a python-quixote1 package.
