fork/alternative != rename The term 'replace' is more general than a rename. And it's consistent with the implementation : the PKGBUILD variable is called replaces and the db entry is called REPLACES. Are you all suggesting that we introduce renames/RENAMES in PKGBUILD and in the database ? Because that would make things less confusing ? It looks much more confusing to me.
