Done and uploaded to cam.ctan.org as a libertine-legacy package. There
are libertine.sty files in both the new libertine package at CTAN and
the libertine-legacy package I've just uploaded. I'm unwilling to
re-name the latter because it's a file that users will definitely have
referenced in their sources. The former is just a stub that announces
that libertine.sty is no longer supported; in my opinion it should be
deleted. And it would seem from the other such stubs that the former
libertine maintainer has played this game of cutting off his users
before; not consistent with TeX traditions.
