Done, thanks! Eventually I did all of the above (a "replaces" field

new package which seems to have no impact though, an echo output with
the
deprecation message, a deprecation message in the package description, a
comment on the AUR page and an out of date notification with again a
deprecation message). Let's see how it goes! :)
As mentioned, replace does nothing at all for AUR packages (unless you
put them in a local repo).
You can add conflicts/replaces though, such that users don't have to
manually remove the old package before installing the new one.

...and I meant conflicts/provides in the last part.
