Renaming a package is just bringing in the new package, getting it
reviewed, particularly for correct Provides/Obsoletes, and then
requesting that the old named package be removed.
Note, that I don't think we should remove the old package, we should
simply follow the normal end of life procedure for it.
Then, people looking for it under the old name will see a dead.package
in cvs and that will point them to the new package. History will be
preserved, etc.
I guess we should have a clear guideline on this. I will see about
submitting one to the packaging folks.
