In an ideal world, the obsolete/provides-version should contain the 
exact version number of the obsoleted old package. So in the given 
example this would be: 

Obsoletes: oldpac <= 1.0
Provides: oldpac = 1.0

But in the past we agree also with

Obsoletes oldpac <= %{version}
Provides: oldpac = %{version}

...in the hope that a "reborn" oldpac package would start with a higher 
version number than the current newpac...
