Title: #472: Packaging: Add placeholder packages

HonzaCholasta commented:
"""
Is this really the right thing to do? IMO it does not make much sense to have placeholders for every `ipa*` package, as it does not scale at all - nothing is preventing a potential attacker to register their own `ipa*` package, which will confuse PyPI users all the same and will prevent us to use that name ourselves in the future, should we want to.
