Bug#782660: java-package: Provide a transitional way for the package name

[Bernhard Schmidt]

Package: java-package
Version: 0.52
Severity: normal

Hi,

during the 0.52 cycle the package names were changed from (i.e.)

	oracle-j2re1.7

to

	oracle-java7-jre

While I generally think the new names are cleaner the old package is not
replaced by the new package automatically.

I can think of two ways for this to happen.

a) add appropriate Breaks+Replaces to the generated package
b) document a way to build transitional packages

I have attached our local way of doing b) here. Probably not perfect,
but seems to do the job.

Best Regards,
Bernhard
