Replace rule is too wide

The issue is in this snippet:
https://github.com/Ocramius/PackageVersions/blob/2.4.x/composer.json#L25
The current replace rule is a bit overreaching, since it also replaces the 1.x version of that package. I'm reporting this for documentation, since I fear that, as of now, with already tagged and released versions, Composer will always reach this version and create this issue. Or is there any other solution?
On my end, I'll try to find time to release a new version that leverage the Composer 2 API directly as a workaround.
Yes, that's intentional: I pretty much stopped caring, because of overly-aggressive third parties that I have no interest in aiding.
In practice, the API of this package is defined by this package, not by the deprecated substitute.
Let me rephrase: I did this intentionally.
The correct approach is to require ocramius/package-versions, then add composer/pqckage-versions-deprecated if there is a need to run composer v2 on ancient php versions (bad idea, IMO)
