I've seen smaller, real world libraries do this, although not at the 
patch level.  When they roll major versions though, they'll switch top 
level package names.

MapDB, for example, used to be JDBM and all in the jdbm.stuff package. 
Then they were an Apache project for a while and used an 
org.apache.mapdb.stuff package name, now they've gone "real" and got an 
mapdb.org domain and are releasing under package org.mapdb.stuff.

It's not a huge deal and there's always ways to manage it.
