  IC -- but bear in mind that in my example, both the old and new
packages installed "I_Need_This.xml" (which would be perfectly fine
under the assumption that the new version could be used with older
dependent packages).

  Yes I understand.  But what I was saying: if you added that dependency
(the old foo-SO package being dependent on the new foo package), no
changes would be required (to pkg_delete).  It would just work out of
the box.
