  It depends whether you want to keep smooth upgraded between the old
  package and the new package.
  If you want it smooth, you have to provide a dummy package depending
  on the new package. Otherwise, create a new one and ask for the
  removal of the old one. However, users might not understand what's
  happening on their system.
