Is it really necessary?

Renaming requires some manual tweaking, yes.  I can take care of that.
But more importantly it's an annoyance for your users since updates
won't be applied for them, so they may end up stuck at the old
`dtache.el` release without realizing there's a new version under
a different name.  We currently don't have any way to inform
`package-update` and friends about a renaming :-(
