The announced changes are made on the public package repository.
In order to successfully upgrade your system, you shall:

Remove bufgroup by issueing pkman -R bufgroup (if this operation is about to generate a new init cpio, then Ctrl-C it!).
Upgrade the whole system: pkman -Syu (this operation shall generate a new init cpio and it is fine).
Remove residues: pkman -R memheap and pkman -R crt (it is not a problem if these packages are not installed).
If any package were removed from memheap and crt, then generate a new init cpio. To generage a new init cpio, issue mkbic -Pv --nobackup (note: use the --nobackup option to keep the current backup init cpio).

The utask_df package will be merged into the utask package.

Manually remove the utask_df package: pkman -R utask_df (when the pkman is about to create a new init cpio (Make Boot Init CPIO), just Ctrl+C it, you won't need this immediate init cpio).
Upgrade the system: pkman -Syu (this command shall succeed, and shall make a new init cpio).

The crypto package will be renamed to tcrypto. It is called "Threos cryptography library" now.

The libpkman and the makepk package will be merged into the pkman package. There is no more reason to keep them separated.

To upgrade a system which was up-to-date on Thu Jan 25, 2018:

Manually remove the three pkman-related packages: pkman -R pkman libpkman makepk (when the pkman is about to create a new init cpio (Make Boot Init CPIO), just Ctrl+C it, you won't need this immediate init cpio). Do NOT restart your system!
Upgrade the system and install the new pkman in one step: pkman -Syu --config /etc/pkman/pkman.ini.pksave pkman (note: the pkman tool will be still available, because it is stored under /run/bin which came from the boot init cpio).
