Hey ho! (CC'ing Jeremiah: Can you provide your insight on how to do this transition right?)

For the wrapper package, you could simply let it depend on "git-core" and make its contents empty, I guess. The other way would be for Khertan to make sure that his git-core source package creates the dummy "git" package that depends on git-core. This might create a conflict in the repos, though (two different source packages creating the same binary package). Niels could probably just remove your package from the repos with the reasoning from above and then have Khertan upload a new version of the git-core package that also creates the transitional "git" wrapper package. Here are the instructions for Debian, but the changes to debian/control should be working on Maemo, too: http://wiki.debian.org/Renaming_a_Package HTH.
