fork/alternative != rename

The term 'replace' is more general than a rename. And it's consistent
with the implementation :
the PKGBUILD variable is called replaces and the db entry is called REPLACES.

Are you all suggesting that we introduce renames/RENAMES in PKGBUILD
and in the database ?
Because that would make things less confusing ? It looks much more
confusing to me.
