A version of 2.83.5 built with gcc 4 is in testing, and rdeps have already
been built against it, so I think you're going to need "v5" package names.

I am not a release team member, but I believe the current policy is that
you may/should upload any time after your C++ build-dependencies have
transitioned. In the case of bullet, the only C++ build-dep seems to be
tinyxml, which has had libtinyxml2.6.2v5 arrive on all architectures;
so you should be clear to proceed.

If you are not a DD, you will need a sponsor (DMs can't upload new
package names). I am in pkg-games and could sponsor an upload that
you stage in git, or start the transition myself, if required.
