It might be better to use a transitional package built by src:rng-tools 
for that, something like:

Package: rng-tools5
Depends: rng-tools (>= 6)
Description: Transitional package

Package: rng-tools
Breaks: rng-tools5 (<< 6)
Replaces: rng-tools5 (<< 6)


This would give users of rng-tools5 in trixie an automatic upgrade
to rng-tools.
