We have (and will continue to have) many transitional dummy packages

than the "real" package
2) Software center could refuse to display them even in the detailed view

Don't we already have "Section: oldlibs" for that?

I suppose we could keep using that, but are we telling lintian/software center to do the right things in this case?
