Hi,

I have a problem to get a sane upgrade path for a library package which should be splitted
in to serval packages on dora.

The old package is called libfoo now the package gets split into libfoo libfoo-bar libfoo-set and so on.

Because of the debian renaming for libraries the PN-library package libfoo is renamed to libfoo3.

If we now want to upgrade from libfoo to libfoo3 oneway would be to use RREPLACE, but
the renaming wrapping is written at do_package into files, before all the other stuff
kicks in.

So all RREPLACES are renamed to libfoo3 too, making it impossible to get a REPLACE stanza for libfoo
into an ipk.

Bye Henning
