 Good question - hopefully sam will respond to this question.

 Most propably, yes, it requires a rename. Maybe get in contact with
upstream about what name to choose and make them aware of the naming
conflict, at best they will go to use the new name, too.

 Some rules of thumb, which I somehow have a dejavu of having them
posted recently here: Depending on the severity of the changes it should
(not) get uploaded before the package in the pool has hit testing. And
if you plan to do more hacking on the package in the near future you
propably don't want to upload now neither.

 So long,
