- How would you go about the migration process to combine all the packages
 into one, and get rid (forget) the old packages?

I'm not sure I understand about the reboot you mention, but isn't what you are looking for essentially the "Obsoletes" mechanism? You do

Obsoletes: PkgA PkgB

in NewPkg.spec.

Then use -U, not -i, to install (You should consider "-U" as the normal way of installing, and "-i" as a special case, IMO.)
