You request that they be merged into the new package.

You can, it just won't do much in the AUR. It's generally advised against because people don't understand when to use it, but this is exactly the type of case it was made for. Unfortunately, replaces only does anything when the package is in a pacman repo, and won't do anything when people just -U the package. People managing a local repo will get an automatic replacement instead of having to `pacman -Syu cahute`, so there's that, but that's about it. > - Should I add some warnings on existing p7/libp7/p7screen packages warning > that they are no more maintained? Merging should take care of that.
