... or follow whatever python convention there may be.

I believe the package should be called qiskit-alt, but the module obviously cannot have a hyphen, so should be qiskit_alt.

That confirms what I picked up by osmosis. I haven't seen a justification for the addition of complexity.... Maybe this way you always know whether a reference is to the package or the module (as long as it contains one hyphen/underscore).
