no, I don't know of any special policy or special best practice for this
case.
I am guessing the best practical approach is:
* Create an new 'ITP: thrift' -- it's a new Debian source package.
* Explain that it will obsolete the existing source packages.
* Explain that it replaces/continues the existing binary packages.
Then upload, and deal/fix things with the ftp masters while it's in NEW.
In case there _is_ a special practice for that, FTP-Masters will of
course bark at you and give you names ;). A risk we all take...
Hth,
