(not a maintainer of the existing httpcore and httpx packages) I didn't=20
even know these ones exist, I only knew about httpxyz.

But also neither httpx2 nor httpxyz provide `import httpx` (they expect=20
you to import them `as httpx`), so I wouldn't expect the Debian packages=20
provide that, so technically all of them can coexst, and=20

See also:

https://httpxyz.org/httpx-compatibility/ (and what it does to sys.modules)

https://github.com/pydantic/httpx2/issues/963 (where the same is=20
requested)

Finally, I've found https://tildeweb.nl/~michiel/httpx2.html where the=20
author of httpxyz says "while we think httpxyz was definitely needed, we=20
welcome httpx2 and think it should be the =E2=80=98blessed=E2=80=99 fork" s=
o I don't think=20
httpxyz should be considered.
