Done in v2 except for samba.  The rename reads,

    samba/fixed         -> samba-pinned
    samba/fixed-patched -> samba/fixed

Well, the symbol samba/fixed still exists so I do not know how to
deprecate it.  At worse, people relying on the symbol samba/fixed will
get an newer version of Samba (v4.15.13 instead of v4.15.3).  It appears
fine to me.

Well, couple of months or early if something needs a graft – I added a
comment.
