System: NetBSD 6.99.16 i386
>Description:
	It used to be the case that "make replace" could be passed
	an "OLDNAME" variable, giving the name of a different package to
	be replaced.  That no longer works.

	The OLDNAME variable is still honoured by the
	_pkgformat-deinstall target in pkgsrc/mk/pkgformat/pkg/deinstall.mk,
	but that target is no longer invoked during "make replace"
	for packages that have PKG_DESTDIR_SUPPORT != none.

	I suspect that OLDNAME support needs to be added to pkg_add(1),
	and the makefiles need to be adjusted to pass the OLDNAME
	when invoking pkg_add with the -U or -u options.

	Also, OLDNAME is not documented in pkgsrc.txt.
>How-To-Repeat:
	# Install xlockmore
	cd pkgsrc/x11/xlockmore
	make package-install

	# Try to replace it with xlockmore-lite
	cd pkgsrc/x11/xlockmore-lite
	make replace OLDNAME=xlockmore

	# It fails with this message:
===> replace-destdir [xlockmore-lite-5.41nb2] ===> Updating using binary package of xlockmore-lite-5.41nb2
/usr/sbin/pkg_add -K /var/db/pkg -U -D /wherever/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD-6.99.16-i386-pkgtype=overwrite/All/xlockmore-lite-5.41nb2.tgz
pkg_add: Package `xlockmore-lite-5.41nb2' conflicts with `xlockmore-[0-9]*', and `xlockmore-5.41' is installed.
pkg_add: Installed package `xlockmore-5.41' conflicts with `xlockmore-lite-[0-9]*' when trying to install `xlockmore-lite-5.41nb2'.

	# This workaround succeeds:
	cd pkgsrc/x11/xlockmore-lite
	make replace OLDNAME=xlockmore PKG_DESTDIR_SUPPORT=none

>Fix:
	Add OLDNAME support to pkg_add(1).

	Adjust pkgsrc makefiles accordingly.

	Document it all.
