If they are getting notifications for the package, then leaving a comment for the old package is a good idea and will give them a heads-up. Which you've done, so that's all that can really be expected of you. :) But fundamentally, this is all about the votes and comments. Most commonly, I think, merge requests are used to join together two packages for a split package (in which case they will continue to get the same pkgname under a different pkgbase). -- Eli Schwartz Bug Wrangler and Trusted User
