No, it's not. Unless the new package provides the same SONAME as libechonest2.1 (which it does not), this is not "renaming a package". I was looking for some documentation, but I think the best think I can point you to is ยง8 of the policy. But in short: transitiong from the old SONAME to the new SONAME is done via rebuilds of the rev deps, not via the old library package pulling in the new one. Cheers -- Sebastian Ramacher
