I also see trouble in the archive when we have old signify in older distributions and new signify in unstable and testing. Without having any technical justification for that, I would probably go ahead to rename signify to signify-mail, leaving signify-openbsd named that way until the old signify source package has aged out of the archive completely and was moved to archive.d.o.
The correct approach is one release with a transitional package, pulling the new package in, and one release with the name unused (so the transitional package is listed in Obsolete/Local).
The release without the package also makes sure that any archive version constraints (oldstable < stable, stable < testing, testing < unstable) are satisfied even if testing < oldstable.
