The mypy devs are working on a feature that allows automatic discovery and downloading of project interface stubs by appending a suffix to existing projects (in the form of <name>-stubs): https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0561/#stub-only-packages
(see https://lwn.net/SubscriberLink/757218/a7b754a41ad74a49/ for more background)
A version of this is already implemented in mypy, which means that if a PyPI project doesn't have a stubs package, and doesn't advertise itself as providing type hints, mypy may go and download the related stubs package.
This suggests that there may need to be some special rules put in place for stub interface packages on the PyPI side of things, such as not allowing stub packages to be published without the approval of the base package maintainers (or at least without alerting them to the fact that the stub package exists).
