Yes, in the past (granted it's been years/decades), when I was looking at a takeover for an old source package name, the prevailing guidance was to make sure the old source package was removed for at least a full Debian release before introducing the replacement, but ideally wait until all versions for old Debian releases had completely aged out of the pool (these days I guess that would include waiting for LTS versions to no longer include it as well?). -- Jeremy Stanley
