Renaming the cloud-utils package

[Jorge Gallegos]

If upstream (in this case ubuntu) renamed it totally makes sense to
rename. As for the rpm implications I believe you:

1) notify the list package(s) renaming
2) add the appropriate Obsoletes tag in the new packages

That's it I think? someone else may want to weigh in tho.
