for the sake of an argument, what about 

 1. You must make your modified package output to the screen a message
    that it isn't the original package
 
 2. If the environment where your modified package is intended to be
    used provides a documented standard way of emitting such messages
    without making any other processing changes, you must use that.

i don't think the wording is good, but that aside, would that lift your
concern?
