There will be a note in the README mentioning that the two packages 
cannot coexist.

Thanks, I will test that, but since the exact content of python-pillow 
is included in python3-pillow, from the point of view of packages 
depending on Pat's python-pillow there shouldn't be any difference, 
unless I'm missing something (in which case I'll stand corrected).

Here's the diff output:
-----
$ diff -r /tmp/SBo/package-python-pillow/ 
/tmp/SBo/package-python3-pillow/
Only in /tmp/SBo/package-python-pillow/usr/doc: python-pillow-3.0.0
Only in /tmp/SBo/package-python3-pillow/usr/doc: python3-pillow-3.0.0
Only in /tmp/SBo/package-python3-pillow/usr/lib64: python3.4
