Dunno where the docs are, but in short: * rename the binary package: + edit debian/control + mv debian/libfoo42.* → libfoo43.* + "git grep libfoo42" elsewhere, just to be sure * [optional but strongly recommended] test the library's users * request a sponsored upload even if you're a DM * once it passes NEW, its users might need a binNMU to rebuild with the new soname For a sane library, that's it. On the other hand, if the -dev package name changes as well, it's effectively a new package; usually co-installable with the old version.
