I'm not aware of apt/itude having the feature you are looking for,
though it might be interesting to have.
The best you could to right now is to try to script a solution based on
the practice that the old package is moved to section oldlibs.
You might want to file a wishlist bug against 'apt' to request such a
feature (if not requested already). A reliable implementation probably
requires a new package field, something like:
Package: foo
Superseded-By: bar
Kind regards,
Andrei
