Subscribing Peter´s opinion, you should never loss the original
For the controversy, I rather move the original PDF to another bundle
and the converted PDF/A would left at the ORIGINAL Bundle
And add the needed metadata to document the change, at least add some
lines into a new dc.description.provenance (I know, there are better
solutions, but this is simpler). They would serve as a pseudo
preservation-metadata-record

I wouldn't recommend altering/damaging your existing PDF's. That just
sounds like its inviting risk.
A better route would be to build a DSpace curation task, that is
capable of doing the automated PDF conversion, leaving the old PDF's
in the ORIGINAL bundle, and the PDF/A's going into a bundle such as
CONVERTED.
Also, what conversion tools are you looking at? i.e. a Java library /
remote web service? Also, I'd take a look at the license, hopefully a
compatible license with DSpace (i.e. non GPL, non AGPL).
