I think it discovers changed names if you do a dist-upgrade. I found
this out when I threw experimental into my "sources.list". When I did a
dist-upgrade apt replaced dpkg with adpkg, a change which is very
difficult to reverse. (adpkg has a lot of overlaps with dpkg, and
instead of using diversions, it just rewrites "dpkg.list".)
