"ITP stands for Intend to package. These are packages which not exist in
Debian yet. Such packages need to go through NEW. That is the queue on
ftp-master for packages uploaded for the first time, which need to be
reviewed first. This includes renames, packages moving between areas,
and source-packages that build new binary packages."
So, ITP seemed the right tag for a rename. Let me know if I need to do
something else.
To recap: I've been maintaining this package as a DM for several years;
just I need someone to approve the rename as I don't have permission to
do it myself.

Could someone explain what I need to do to get the new debs approved?
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.
