You did not hijack the package, see #257126. It was removed before you
filed the ITP.
It's best to incorporate the changelog of the 1.6-2 version, and I'd
also suggest to look at the packaging, and incorporate any fixes made to
upstread etc, so that upgrades from 1.6 go smoothly.
Btw, packaging this package as a native package as you did is a mistake.
