The convention is to use the package name of the input package as input
label ("python-six" instead of "six" in this case).  This is important for
the "guix style" in <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/49169>, which, when it will
be in master, allows writing this package definition as

(define-public python-multipledispatch
  (package
    (name "python-multipledispatch")
    ...
    (propagated-inputs (list python-six))
    ...))

(The long-term goal appears to be to remove input labels completely.)

Maxime.
