If I have version 1 of package foo, containing items bar, xxx, yyy, zzz, i.e.

foo-1
-----
bar
xxx
yyy
zzz

and, for version 2, bar is split off to its own sub-package, foo-bar, so that 
the desired packaging becomes:

foo-2         foo-bar-2
-----         ---------
xxx           bar
yyy
zzz

with foo-bar permanently requiring foo going forward.  How does one structure the
Obsoletes/Requires such that foo-2 pulls in foo-bar-2 only once, during the upgrade
from 1 to 2?  

What is the best practice for this? 


I think that if foo-bar-2 is not strictly required by foo-2 to work, you can make "foo-2 Obsoletes: foo-1" and then put a weak dependency to foo-bar-2 "foo-2 Recommends: foo-bar-2".
