Spell to be deprecated: A
New spell: B

You'll want to integ A to B
  $ p4 integ A/... B/...

Then submit it so you can modify B
  $ p4 submit B/...

Now modify as follows.

Modify the following files in A to run only `true`:
  A/{PRE_BUILD,BUILD,INSTALL}
    true

Have A autoconflict with itself:
  A/CONFLICTS:
    conflicts  A  y

Have A dispel itself when cast:
  A/TRIGGERS:
    on_cast  A  dispel_self

Remove all SOURCE* information from A (SOURCE, SOURCE_URL,
SOURCE_DIRECTORY, MD5/GPG/HASH, etc.).

Have A depend only B:
  A/DEPENDS:
    depends  B

Rename the SOURCE in B:
  B/DETAILS
    SPELL=B
    SOURCE=<source from A>
    SOURCE_DIRECTORY=<directory from A>

Have B autoconflict with A:
  B/CONFLICTS:
    conflicts  A  y

I think that about covers it and don't forget the HISTORY entries. :)
