Description

Have a look at the following PR for instance: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/36934

This PR did a minor rename change, however the PR was labeled to contain a new package which might be a bit misleading especially when the PR aims to fix a package that might be relevant for the upcoming release.

Research direction

Start by examining the referenced nixpkgs pull request and tracing ofborg's pull-request labeling behavior. Determine how moved expressions are identified and how the has: package(new) label is assigned; done means rename-only changes no longer receive that label while genuinely new packages still do.
