Yes, sorry, I should have mentioned it before. As you already renamed
it, let's try to go on with this.

  JM> so I thought it is not problematic

If you change the source package name, the package will end up in the
NEW queue, so we'll have to make it sure that the renaming is well
explained in the changelog.

Given that this is a relatively new package and it's not in stable, I
guess it's okay to not provide dummy migration packages.

Ciao,
