Yuck.

I'd just deliver the new files to a different location (or under a
different name) so that there is no conflict.  You can then safely
switch back and forth as needed without mucking with packages.

Better still, non-conflicting packaging is one of the fundamental ARC
requirements.  You don't need to be best-practice-compliant to post
beta test code, but I'd suggest that it's a good idea just in the
interest of avoiding unintended trouble.
