a good question but my knowledge about linux package manager is limited.

We have a new major version and a new name. I hope we can agree that
we want both, especially the new name (the version is straight forward).

The question is indeed how we can solve this. Is there a way to
provide a package or some dependencies that removes older or other
packages. Something that we can provide additionally?

Or a special openoffice.org cleanup package.

Who has more knowledge about rpm/debs and can provide more info?
