Coding tests against this, I think that this should actually be an error. I'm labelling it SilentNameChange. In a situation like above, there is no transition of the old package to the new one. We would normally expect: foo_dev/CSWfoodev -> (foo_dev_stub/CSWfoodev, foo_dev/CSWfoo-dev). The current routine is to scan the catalog diff for /_stub$/ and then process those first. We'd find foo_dev_stub, see it delivering CSWfoodev and find CSWfoodev in the old catalog, see that it's called foo_dev and remove foo_dev from the catalog diff, storing it as a rename. Does anyone think that case three should _not_ be an error?
