Something that's been going through my mind recently is the following: Say I had package foo, and all was going well. Then, upstream, they change the package name to 'bar,' and I decide to go along with it. How could I go about making it automated for an upgrade to happen? Could I drop a Depends: bar in the new (pseudo) foo package, and put a Conflicts: and Replaces: in bar for foo? Or is there /any/ way (because Conflicts: seems to suggest it can't be done) to automate the upgrade to a package which has changed names?
The move from x11amp -> xmms got this going in my head a little while ago, but I haven't bothered to ask before this.
