Dunno where the docs are, but in short:
* rename the binary package:
+ edit debian/control
+ mv debian/libfoo42.* → libfoo43.*
+ "git grep libfoo42" elsewhere, just to be sure
* [optional but strongly recommended] test the library's users
* request a sponsored upload even if you're a DM
* once it passes NEW, its users might need a binNMU to rebuild with the new
soname
For a sane library, that's it.
On the other hand, if the -dev package name changes as well, it's effectively a new package; usually co-installable with the old version.
If you were actually asking about the whole procedure, and not about NEW, please read and follow https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/ReleaseTeam/TransitionsMeow!
Thanks Adam, that answered it for me. I will do a mentors upload later on.

Please note that your question didn't mention the DM context.This was just related to libfilezilla that has regular API soname bumps.Could someone point me to the documentation that relates to upload of packages that have newCan you explain the context for this? You never need to do anything

special to put a package into NEW.
My question was answered by Adam (kilobyte) that upload of such packages need to be a sponsored
upload even if a DM.
