I think the questions are: is the new package, in terms of contents, just an upgrade to the old one? In other words, if it had the usual name, could it have been released by the original upstream? is the original upstream non-functional? does the new upstream see itself as a continuation fork? does the rest of the world see the new upstream as a (the?) continuation fork? why did the new upstream change the name? is the name change reasoning explained in the new upstream's README, including guidance for packagers? if not, what happens if you file a bug with the new upstream that the name change is not explained? I will have a look in a bit; the wip server is not reachable from me this minute.
