My rule of thumb is that if it's not possible to directly upgrade from
the last release which still had the package, it's okay to remove the
Obsoletes:.  It's derived from first principles (the intermediate update
step will remove the package); I don't know if it's an official
guideline.

Thanks,
Florian
