I don't understand - do you mean that I change the name from
libkpathsea4-dev to libkpathsea-dev, or that not *me*, but the depending
packages' maintainers will change their build-dep from libkpathsea-dev
to libkpathsea4-dev?

If my second interpretation is right, we depend on maintainers' action
for that. In order to make all dependencies on the old version
disappear, would a "still depends on libkpathsea3" bug be RC?
