The difference between replaced and renamed is significant though. There's no reason not to replace kernel-headers with linux-api-headers, but there are some other packages (cdrtools vs cdrkit comes to mind) that would give the same message but have a very different effect. Just my 2 cents.

The difference is that replaces was never meant for alternate software choices, it was meant for things like gaim->pidgin for example.
