I remember the discussion we had about that, but that's not what I'm
talking about. My opinion is just that if the pkgname was changed, I
see no reason to drop libgraphite exactly at the same time graphite
enters the repository. graphite can move as soon as libreoffice and
there's no reason to wait for texlive, libgraphite can be dropped
independently as soon as I make sure texlive does not use it anymore.
