No, they just changed the name to have it similar to the old 1.3 branch.
They have not yet packaged the new version (where we have seen the ABI breakage).

OK, but you still want to remove 3.0-8 don't you, and so for the transition to 3.0-9 you need a dummy package (and yes, you don't need conflicts/replaces). If we want to keep 3.0-8 (but why!?) then yes, I agree.
