pip download suds fails because "has inconsistent name: expected 'suds', but metadata has 'suds-community'"

I'm trying to keep a local mirror of all the package so our builds can work even if PyPI goes down temporarily. This is how I noticed this rare corner case:

$ pip download --no-deps --no-binary :all: suds==1.1.2
Collecting suds==1.1.2
  Using cached suds-1.1.2.tar.gz (285 kB)

ERROR: No matching distribution found for suds==1.1.2

I expect it's because the setup.py in suds-1.1.2.tar.gz calls setup(name='suds-community', ...) if you don't know to define the SUDS_PACKAGE environment variable.

I won't be bothered too much if you close this bug as WONTFIX because preparing slightly different setup.py files for the twin suds vs suds-community releases might be a pain, and people can use wheels which do not suffer from this problem.

Hey @mgedmin, I can see how this is unexpected and could be considered a bug, considering the CLI called for building the suds package. I'd be open to a fix if you can find one.

I think an alternative answer is to release a final version of suds-community that has a simple dependency on a recent version of suds. An example I've seen is here: https://github.com/simonw/pypi-rename. I believe that would be non-breaking to consumers of suds-community.
