How to remap freenect_launch /camera/depth_registered/points?

I have a package that listens for image data from a Kinect on /dodo_detector_ros/image_feed and for point cloud data on /dodo_detector_ros/pointcloud_feed. When I use the kinect2_bridge package with Kinect v2, I am able to remap topics from kinect2_bridge to the addresses my package listens to, like so.

<remap from="/kinect2/hd/image_color" to="/dodo_detector_ros/image_feed"/>
<remap from="/kinect2/hd/points" to="/dodo_detector_ros/pointcloud_feed"/>
<include file="$(find kinect2_bridge)/launch/kinect2_bridge.launch"/>
...

I am also able to remap a camera's image topic to the address my package listens to and it works (here I am ignoring the point cloud).

<remap from="/image_raw" to="/dodo_detector_ros/image_feed"/>
<node name="camera" output="screen" pkg="uvc_camera" type="uvc_camera_node" />
...

However, when I use freenect_launch with Kinect v1 and remap its topics like so, only the image topic is remapped. The remapped point cloud topic is created, but nothing is published on /dodo_detector_ros/pointcloud_feed.

<remap from="/camera/rgb/image_color" to="/dodo_detector_ros/image_feed"/>
<remap from="/camera/depth_registered/points" to="/dodo_detector_ros/pointcloud_feed"/>
<include file="$(find freenect_launch)/launch/examples/freenect-registered-xyzrgb.launch"/>
...

If I remove the remap commands from this last launch file and create subscribers that point directly to /camera/rgb/image_color and /camera/depth_registered/points, my package works fine. This is odd as it seems I am following the same pattern in all three launch files. Can someone help me?

I discovered my problem was specifically in remapping the /camera/depth_registered/points topic, provided by the freenect_launch package and its freenect-registered-xyzrgb.launch launch file. While I was unable to remap this specific topic, I solved my problem by using another point cloud topic, like so:

<remap from="/camera/rgb/image_color" to="/dodo_detector_ros/image_feed"/>
<remap from="/camera/depth/points" to="/dodo_detector_ros/pointcloud_feed"/>
<include file="$(find freenect_launch)/launch/freenect.launch"/>

This one does not come with RGB data attached to the points, but I was able to work with it. Still, I'll leave the question here since I couldn't solve my original problem.
