Best way to handle replacing a split package with two source packages?



Hi all,

I maintain the pyddr and ddrmat-source packages, which are both
generated from the same pyddr source package. Upstream is going to split
off the ddrmat-related files into a separate tarball since they don't
change much, for the next version.

The obvious way to handle this is to package pyddr as normal, but
without the ddrmat-related build scripts, and only generate one .deb,
then package ddrmat-source as normal, and generate a .deb for that. Then
upload the two separate source and binary packages. Do the various
scripts/people automatically handle this, or do I have to file some bugs
against ftp.debian.org to remove the old ddrmat-source package first?

Thanks.
