you dont strictly need to do anything special - the AUR is not intended
to be sane - but if it were an official package, and/or if there is a
similarly named package in the official repos, then i think the thing
to do is to add the original package name to its conflict-resolution
arrays - e.g. for a package named 'foo':

pkgname='foo-bin'
provides=('foo')
conflicts=('foo')
replaces=('foo')

how the web UI handles the renamed package, i have no idea
