While I agree with the renames proposed in PRQ#18272 through PRQ#18276, it is considered good form to bring up such issues in the package comments first to give the current maintainers a chance to deal with the rename themselves. Given that you have already uploaded fresh packages under the new names today, I suggest adding the current maintainers of the old packages as co-maintainers of the new packages: at least some of them appear to be active, e.g. r-gdal was updated just today. Procedurally it would be better to have filed merge requests instead of deletion requests to merge the old into the new name: this preserves votes and comments and gives a clearer indication of what happened to the old package.
