>From the perspective of pkg things are even worse, as pkg can no
longer detect that the renamed package is a replacement for some
existing one. It breaks many stuff and solver could hardly help to
resolve this in a pain-less matter. We need something like 'Replace'
or 'Obsolete' field badly. 'UPDATING' does NOT help to solve this task
at all.
