After discussing with upstream, I'm complying with the trademark licence conditions by "prominent version qualifiers and notices of possible out-datedness" rather than renaming. Specifically, for a fresh installation, the postinst checks the upstream version (using uscan) and if the version being installed is out of date (or may be out of date, since the version check failed) it notes that it will not be supported upstream and requires acknowledgement of this.
This has been specifically accepted by upstream as a way to comply with his conditions. He would prefer that we integrated information about current upstream versions into the information fetched by APT, but that's a rather large and perhaps controversial change that should not stand in the way of updating this package. The conditions on use of the name do mean the package must move to non-free. Ben. -- Ben Hutchings For every complex problem there is a solution that is simple, neat, and wrong.
