### Renaming a package
- Create empty package of old name, depending on new package. This is
necessary to provide updates to systems where old package is already
installed. This should be a subpackage of new one, except when version
number of new package decreased: then create a separate template using
old version and increased revision.
- Edit references to package in other templates and common/shlibs.
- Don't set `replaces=`, it can result in removing both packages from
systems by xbps.
