The normal procedure is to rename the binary package to libgtop2-1 (it should probably have been libgtop2.0-1, but people seem to have their own tastes about this.) And then noting each maintainer to recompile against the new package, and optionally doing a mass-NMU and uploading to DELAYED queue...
