I guess I'm less concerned about some other package still
depending on something that we've renamed and more
concerned about how the installation of a brand new
stack of Bigtop will proceed where a previous Bigtop
has been installed before.

So let me see if I understand. To the best of my knowledge, the only
two keywords that RPM provides for managing situations where packages
with different names have some kind of a relationship are:
   Conflicts
   Obsoletes

With the only difference being that Obsoletes would allow upgrade and
Conflict would require manual removal and then installation.

Am I missing anything?

Thanks,
Roman.
