Mangling the maintainers scripts of another package is a delicate issue as it's often fragile and can cause hard to debug failures in corner cases.
Personally, I would have turned the versioned packages into empty transitional packages. This would have made the upgrade process much smoother and avoided this issue altogether (the new empty versioned packages would have no maintainer scripts).
It's also common practice for such use cases. Any reason why you didn't consider this approach? Regards, Michael
