[Mageia-dev] How should packages with version in name be handled?

[David W. Hodgins]

I've started qa testing upgrading from Mageia 1 to
Cauldron, to ensure going from Mageia 1 to 2 will
go smoothly.

I'm running into a some cases like
https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5103
where Mageia 1 has libchamplain-gtk0.8_1
   and Cauldron has libchamplain-gtk0.12_0

As the packages contain version numbers in the package name,
urpmi is not treating it as a package update, which results
in messages such as

The following packages have to be removed for others to be upgraded:
libchamplain-gtk0.8_1-0.8.3-1.mga1.i586
  (due to missing libclutter-gtk-0.10.so.0)
libchamplain0.8_1-0.8.3-1.mga1.i586
  (due to missing libclutter-glx-1.0.so.0)

Am I correct in thinking that adding an obsoletes of
libchamplain-gtk0.8_1 to libchamplain-gtk0.12_0 would
get urpmi to remove it without generating the above
message?

If so, should I be opening bug reports for each of these
cases, or should it be left as is, and simply tell the
users to go ahead and answer yes to the prompt?
