You're right to mention this. As you already published some versions
of ttf-pecita, even if that was through a private archive, it is a
good idea to provide a nice transition to those people who installed it.
So, the new package should have a higher version than the last version of
the old one. Its changelog should indeed include the old package changelog.
So, let's say that your unofficial ttf-pecita packages were numbered up
to 3.2-3 (the ones you were providing up to now in your ppa), then the
new fonts-pecita should be 3.2-4.
Then, in debian/control:
Package: fonts-pecita
Replaces: ttf-pecita (<< 3.2-4)
Conflicts: ttf-pecita (<< 3.2-4)
Provides: ttf-pecita
Package: ttf-pecita
Depends: fonts-pecita, ${misc:Depends}
Architecture: all
Section: oldlibs
Description: transitional dummy package
