> Shouldn't this package *replace* barrier with something like Obsoletes?

Just to clarify why... but my understanding is that upstream barrier's
development has all moved to input-leap and thus barrier is effectively
abandoned and accordingly, packaging effort for barrier has also ceased with
the packaging effort for this package taking over where that stopped.  That
seems to me to be exactly what Obsoletes was created for.

It means people will have their barrier upgraded to input-leap once the package
is in the repo without people needing to know that they would otherwise have to
manually remove barrier and manually install input-leap.  I would guess that
most people are likely never going to realize that barrier is effectively dead
and they this manual upgrade step is necessary.
