I like both the idea of it being possible to change the names of packages and the patch. But, what about dependencies? Should they be left dangling?

This patch leaves the pkgname in the PKGBUILD as the old name. Probably not an issue, but the maintainer would have to submit an updated PKGBUILD after the name change.
Yeah I thought about that, but when the package name goes from "foo" to "bar", the maintainer might want to add replaces=("foo") etc. So it's probably best to leave it up to the maintainer.
