When the new name is longer (which is a more common case in our experience when introducing package replacements, typically because the new version string is longer), nothing can be done. I=E2=80=99m tempting to keep things as is. Thoughts? Ludo=E2=80=99.

Maybe if the length/version is different, then a symlink could be created in the store pointing to the new dependency, with a name/version that matches the length of the original dependency's store name? Perhaps this new name/version could be something like /gnu/store/...-original-dependency-name-gggggg, where 'g..' matches the length of the version of the original dependency.
