Also a problem is that experimental also might already contain totally unrelated updates like new upstream versions...
I share this worry. Have you thought about how to handle the cases where you don't have experimental to upload to? How big is this problem?
Another worry, how will you provide the required changes to the maintainers of the packages? Via BTS? For those working on salsa: MR? Both? Something else? Obviously we should not end in the situation that a new upload goes back to the old name (or are the ftp-masters so keen on this transition that that won't happen? But what about newer versions with the old name already in experimental, conform the former worry?). I've seen NMU's being ignored by subsequent uploads by the maintainer, even when they fixed RC issues which were then reintroduced.
