Package renaming?



How do I handle the case where the upstream author renames a package?

I have a package, gtksamba.
It is conditionally compiled to produce to binary packages:
gtksamba and gtksamba-gnome.

Upstream is renaming it to gnosamba, and dropping support for gtk-only.
The original package has never made it into an official release
(potato only).

Any suggestions as to how to handle?

My initial thought is to treat it as a new package, then orphan and
remove the two older packages.
