I think it's not possible (you can change the name of types but not
namespaces). Generally, the bindings try to keep the C prefix as
namespace, so there hasn't been any need for this :-)
AFAICS, vapigen annotations are added "as needed", so if you have a
weird bindings you may as well need to patch vapigen (or provide a
*-custom.vala but doubt this will work in your case).
