the package is new, it has never been part of any Debian stable release, and popcon reports a number ~10. The answer is the same answer for this question: do you really think somebody using testing in the last month could had installed that library and linked a program using the changed symbols? I would personally avoid an useless soname bump for this particular case. G.
