I just thought that we still need to do the changes in these 25 packages, because they have unversioned Replaces: and Conflicts:. I noticed that there're some packages with wrong -doc package names, and added them to [1]. We need to change the -doc package name in these packages, using versioned Replaces and Conflicts, like in [2]. Volunteers (DD and not) are welcome again. Also, there're some packages without -prof package: I'll take a look at this in another round of uploads, but if someone wishes to add them when changing the package, it's great.

Just use an epoch, i.e. a version of 1:1. I don't see the need for an epoch. We can just use the version of the original package that was released without the old package name.
