These all still exist, and generally speaking, they get reassigned to
the new version of the package when someone notices them and reassigns
them.

As far as automatically reassigning, that will eventually happen when
the BTS actually knows that a particular source package was based on
another source package with a different name. There's code to do that,
but it's not complete.
