I forgot this point: to be exact, but it's very hard to do:

If foo died at version 1.0, and was renamed to bar, spec should be:

Name: bar
Version: %version
Release: %release
Obsolete: foo <= 1.0
Provides: foo > 1.0

but you don't allways know when the project was renamed, and skipping version 
is soo simple !
I don't think I will try to find latest version of package foo, assuming rpm 
don't take care when the package obsolete itself !
