There's a lot of confusion about this, and the old doc that explains some details is a bit outdated (http://code.google.com/p/pubsubhubbub/wiki/MovingFeedsOrChangingHubs).
That doc dates back to the first version of the spec which required self links to be consistent, which has been relaxed in later versions (to match reality). Thus, try following the same flow as "Moving feeds" but assume the 'hub' link has changed. The backends at Google used for Reader and Buzz will both detect when the hub link changes and resubscribe to the new location with no problems. Other subscribers can do this without polling if they check for 'hub' links on each event they receive and update their subscription to match. Hope that makes sense!
