Thanks for the replies guys. It's the second scenario in what you've
mentioned Björn, there's pkgfoo and pkgfoo-split. The reason I was
asking was because I was thinking along the lines of what Jon says --
that maybe obsoletes/provides can be skipped. I guess since it's my
first time EOL'ing a package, there's no harm in me explicitly putting
them in, just to make sure.

Thanks again,
Gerard.
