I think you can actually, see section 4.10.4 of the Developers Reference
[1]. If I understand correctly, a mail like this would do the trick: 

======
To: pts-static-news@qa.debian.org
Subject: The source package 'linux-2.6' has been renamed to 'linux'.

Package: linux-2.6
Url: http://packages.qa.debian.org/linux
======
