These appear to be namespaced packages and all else being equal (bugs or
other causes aside), the only way I can think of is to have a
py-backports port, with subpackages for each py-backports.*, with
py-backports owning the __init__.py (and other shared files, if any) and
each sub-module (package) depending on py-backports for the shared bits.

Having said that it could also be (at least partially) related to
namespace package fixes that are in an unreleased version of
shutil_get_terminal_size:
