dcmtk is a fairly typical example:
<https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=791022#10>
The steps I've been following are something like this:
* "git grep libquantlib0", replace with libquantlib0v5 (or use ack-grep
or plain grep)
* "ls debian/libquantlib0.*", rename them suitably
* add Conflicts/Replaces
* check debian/rules to see whether anything relies on the library
name
If the contents of the resulting .debs look sane (shared library, static
library, headers, debug symbols all present), they're installable, and
the rdeps build successfully, then you've probably done it right.
