Yes.
You can revert to the old package using an epoch so that it goes
back to a known good version first, if you are pedantic,
but I don't think it's worth it, since you are uploading a new package
into unstable.
It's unfortunate but that's the price of being non-attentive when
packaging libraries.
There are tools to address that issue, such as d-shlibs,
which gives out errors when things don't look right.

I think that would be enough.
It would be obvious after the new package is installed, because they
will be uninstallable in unstable.
