Branching from a renamed product

[Colin Watson]

Summary: I have a branch from a vcs-import of a product that has been
renamed (and moved to a different location in its Subversion repository)
upstream. I would like the product to be renamed and the vcs-import to
be moved, but retain the old history so that I can merge Ubuntu changes
across the product rename. Is this possible, and which set of Launchpad
administrators do I need to talk to in order to make it happen?

Details:

The d-i component "prebaseconfig" was recently renamed to
"finish-install", since recent structural changes in the way the
installer works meant that the old name had become at best misleading.
In the process, it was moved from
svn://svn.debian.org/d-i/trunk/packages/prebaseconfig to
svn://svn.debian.org/d-i/trunk/packages/finish-install.

I have local changes to the prebaseconfig package in Ubuntu. (As it
happens, I think they were all backports and can therefore be replaced
by syncing the new finish-install package in verbatim, but that's just
coincidence and isn't really the point; I'd still like to know how I
should deal with this situation in general.) I therefore have a bzr
branch from the vcs-import of prebaseconfig.

My ideal end situation is for the prebaseconfig product to be renamed to
finish-install in Launchpad, for its main series to point to the new
location in Subversion (which was created using 'svn mv' from the old
location), and for the vcs-import of finish-install to contain the full
history across the rename. Is this at all possible?

Thanks,
