You are renaming the source package. Is it really necessary? This is possible, but it is a bit painful to manage. With a new source package, you need to issue a -1 version. This means to add an epoch to let your transitional package take over the previous binary package. Keeping the same source package name and just changing the binary package names would be far easier. -- Debian package sponsoring guidelines: http://vincent.bernat.im/en/debian-package-sponsoring.html
