Please include fallback for the old package names too, to ease 
backporting, like this:

Depends: libemail-mime-perl (>= 1.863) | libemail-mime-creator-perl


Replace version number with the actual package where things got merged. 
Please note how the Debian part of the version number is deliberately 
left out.  That was also to ease backporting.  If the actual merge (for 
some odd reason) did not happen at an upstream release, then include the 
Debian part but in a backports-friendly way like this: 1.863-5~

When the functionality is provided by the main package even in 
oldstable, the fallback can be dropped.


Kind regards,

 - Jonas
