Hi,
I think that you should follow the two guidelines that I mentioned in one of my previous mails: [1], [2].

Therefore, you should use something like:
Provides: django-debug-toolbar = %{version}-%{release}
Obsoletes: django-debug-toolbar < 0.9.3-1

And you should also throw in some comment about the change (maybe just a link to this thread, so that everyone will be able to find out why the changes took place). And again, let's leave it for the next Rawhide :)
