I've once suggested a new header for that:
Implied-by:
or
Previously-in:
Many users find that (e.g.) fetchpop has dissappeared, and have to waste
their time to find that it was renamed to fetchmail.
That wouldn't happen with a `Implied-by: fetchpop'.
In the case of autoconf, it would be a versioned `implied-by'.
