Currently it doesn't support this. We do have support for morphing PN (package name) at package creation time and if I'm honest we could perhaps do something similar for PV. I am extremely reluctant to allow it though as the PN renaming causes a *lot* of problems and even some of the core OE developers don't 100% understand how it works and get caught out by it. I realise its an education issue but I don't really want to cause more problems at least until we get a handle on the documentation problem.
