OK. We have three solutions suggested now: a) dummy packages (and live with them) b) dummy packages, which self-remove c) packages with the old names, which tinker with dpkg/dselect's databases so it looks like the new packages are installed instead (which is true, since they have the same contents). I suggest the X maintainer choose one.
