That's actually your only option.
Could someone check the symbols of the library before and after the
upload and check whether some have been dropped?  If there are, not
bumping SONAME is a bug upstream should deal with by doing another
release and doing so (and failing so, in Debian you should at the very
least rename the binary package (doing somethng alike to the v5 thing
done for libstdc++5)).
