Bug Description

Uploading a new version of an existing package using the "Upload new version" button, where the original package had an old-style "long" namespace and the new package has a new-style "short" namespace, form validation explicitly disallows the upload with the message:

The new version submitted for 'randomcats' does not match the upload ('randomcats.dholbach').

This effectively means there is currently no means of transitioning a package from old-style to new-style namespaces.
