I'm sorry, wat???

This is not your decision to make as packager. What will you do when upstream
bump the soname? Do soname +1 again?

If the udpate broke packages: a) it should not have been updated on stable
releases (was it?), b) if it was only applied to rawhide (which to my
understanding it should have), then just inform the maintainers of the affected
packages that they have to rebuild or ask to do so yourself. Since can be a
little broken in rawhide as long as maintainers are aware of it and have the
time to fix it.

But bumping the soname manually is really a bad idea.
