When a binary package simply gets a new name (no splitting or merging
involved), should there *always* remain a dummy/transitional package under
the old name, or are there exceptions where the dummy package is considered
to do more harm (littering, basically) than good, for example -doc packages
or other cases where no real functionality is lost by not immediately
upgrading?
I'm not talking about a situation where a main package changes its dependency
on the old package name to the new package name, thereby causing the
transition to take place.
