Right.  This kind of thing is why I let it sit for review for over a
month.  Now it's live in Rawhide and doing a rename means you have to
get all the Provides/Obsoletes in place to kill off the old subpackage
name.  In other words, it's a PITA.

Or, I may just do the rename and people that have the existing
subpackage installed can deal with it manually.
