I would really recommend doing 

autoconf (empty package) Depends autoconf-2.13
autoconf-2.13 
autoconf-2.50

And this works the best.

When the transition is over (read: noone depends on autoconf)
You can make autoconf to 
Replace, Conflict, and Provides autoconf-2.50.

This is IMO the best way to go, if you do not insist on
everyone moving over to 2.50 immediately.
