As Pent said, you can't do this, you'll need unique package names.

Right.

Right.

Also, I would upload 1.5-final first, then update Foo WITHOUT any changes so
1.5 users can still see it, but with a message that 1.5 users should get the
new version (and point them to it in the market). Then, after like a week to
give people a chance to update, do your final 1.6+ Only build and release.

More work, but should give you a smoother transition for 1.5 users.
Otherwise I don't know how you'd let the 1.5 users know to get the new one
considering they won't be able to see the updated one anymore ...
