Renaming packages?

Is there a way to rename packages (without causing pain downstream)?

ManualMemory inherited a not-very-helpful name from the codebase it was originally part of. I’d like to rename it BinaryBlob or similar to forestall confusion.

I would imagine creating a new repo, registering it as a new package, and then deprecating the old one would work?

Yes. This is the recommended way. Registered packages should never be renamed since that will break code.
