You can rename the package, and do something like:

config BR2_PACKAGE_NEW_NAME
	bool "new-name"
	help
	  Blabla

# This is a transitional option kept for compatibility 
# reasons with the old name of this package. It can be removed
# in 2013.05
config BR2_PACKAGE_OLD_NAME
	bool
	select BR2_PACKAGE_NEW_NAME

So that existing configurations continue to work for one year.
