The review gives us an opportunity to ensure that the package hasn't
drifted too far from it's original state when it was first brought in,
and it gets a second pair of eyes on the proper setup of
Provides/Obsoletes, which can go wrong and often does.  Since we have no
other formal re-review system, renames offer a little bit toward that.

Given the vast number of improper Provides/Obsoletes I've ran across, I
feel strongly that I'd like a second pair of eyes on any such additions.
