Easiest way might be replace the package name as late as possible. This way, you don't even have to touch your code. There is a nice article named Renaming the Android Manifest package(http://www.piwai.info/renaming-android-manifest-package/). Summary:

• You can use aapt --rename-manifest-package to modify the package name

• Alternatively, if you want package name replacement to be a part of the ant build process, you can override the -package-resources target:

  • copy the -package-resources target from SDK's build.xml
  • add manifestpackage parameter
