usually nothing, just provide the new binaries from the new src package and that's all :) (if you move files from a binary to another, just remember to add breaks/replaces [1]) but that is a generic issue, not related to which source provides which binary. e.g. this happened a few days ago with src:trigger-rally that now provides trigger-rally-data too (before they were split in two different upstream packages) [1] https://wiki.debian.org/PackageTransition G.
