In theory, package renaming should be accounted for in package creation.
We write package renaming data to the staging area in the form of
pkgmaps and pkgdata and this is then used when creating packages to
remap the Dependency and similar fields. Extremely ugly but it does
work.

Dredging the depths of my memory I think there is a bug where
IMAGE_INSTALL (or whatever the field is called) is not remapped before
processing and it should be. Most people work around or don't see this
by using task packages.

Cheers,
