I did so with net-telnet-cisco -> libnet-telnet-cisco-perl recently.
I had to go via new-queue (with source+bin upload), wait for
ftpmaster to proceed, then did a source-only upload.
The old source package was automatically removed from testing.
Finally I wrote an remove request for unstable (which is still
pending), but I'm not sure, whether this is necessary since the old
source package seems to have vanished from unstable in the meantime
(without a hint in the tracker.debian.org history).
I didn't explicitly inform ftpmaster about the change but mentioned
the source package renaming in debian/changelog.
