In the interest of preserving backward compatibility, I think we should
define indian-ori-base-table and indian-ori-itrans-v5-hash an obsolete
alias of indian-odi-base-table and indian-odi-itrans-v5-hash.  I don't
think we can do such a thing for the language environments or the input
methods tho.  We also need to announce these changes in NEWS.

I think we should include the bill link in the commit message for future
readers.
