What's wrong with a new release that just depends on replacement (assuming
there's identical API)? This might be of help:
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pypi-alias

If there are API changes or other breakages then maybe a release with a
wrapper that emits warnings would be better and generate less
surprise/anger.
