Coding tests against this, I think that this should actually be an
error.  I'm labelling it SilentNameChange.

In a situation like above, there is no transition of the old package
to the new one.  We would normally expect:

foo_dev/CSWfoodev -> (foo_dev_stub/CSWfoodev, foo_dev/CSWfoo-dev).

The current routine is to scan the catalog diff for /_stub$/ and then
process those first.  We'd find foo_dev_stub, see it delivering
CSWfoodev and find CSWfoodev in the old catalog, see that it's called
foo_dev and remove foo_dev from the catalog diff, storing it as a
rename.

Does anyone think that case three should _not_ be an error?

Thanks
