 How should pkgin tell this apart from:
 
  a) foo has become part of bar (so no foo pkg is needed any more) - like
     it happens from time to time with perl extensions/libraries
 
  b) foo got renamed or a successor pkg and the new pkg was installed
     (e.g. as part of a meta-pkg that used to require foo but now requires
     the new version)
