> "new obsoletes mechanism" ?

A GAR addition that makes it easier to change names for things.  We
can now trivially create the _devel package that depends on the _dev
package but delivers no files.  It's prototype has 'i obsoletes='
which will be a visible flag for package tools to clean up the
packages later.

It is not obsoletes in the sense that dpkg or rpm would consider, but
a transition tool

Thanks
