It should be.

As an example from our tests/cli/t_pkg_install.py:
open [EMAIL PROTECTED],5.11-0
add file /tmp/config1 mode=0644 owner=root group=bin
path=etc/config1 preserve=true
close
open [EMAIL PROTECTED],5.11-0
add file /tmp/config2 mode=0644 owner=root group=bin
path=etc/config2 original_name="gold:etc/config1" preserve=true
close
open [EMAIL PROTECTED],5.11-0
add file /tmp/config2 mode=0644 owner=root group=bin
path=etc/config1 original_name="gold:etc/config1" preserve=true
close

My guess is that it means that the removal of the old package has to
occur during the same operation as the installation of the new one. In
other words, using the example above, gold2.0 would have to be removed
and silver2.0 installed during the same "install" or "image-update"
operation.
