Issue Summary
hello
following issue #328932: Modules and partial dependencies - enhances[] and enhancedby[] field in modules .info file,
proposing that we add support for these fields to the .info module files:
* alternatives[] - module(s) with similar functionality (alternative modules that aren't replaced/deprecated by this module. example, Admin is an alternative to Administration Menu and vice-versa)
* replaces[] - module(s) that are replaced or deprecated by this module
* replacedby[] - module(s) that replace or deprecate this module
see:

subscribe.
I just deprecated one of my contrib modules for a new project; replacedby[] would be very handy for this type of situation.

the tags of pear - packages look rather complete to me:

(ok, we have no channel - or did i miss something?)
