I am not sure what the official process is, or if there even is one. What I do for Go is:

1. Change the default version in my working copy.
2. Do a bulk build with all dependent packages.
3. Fix the breakage (usually by updating the package), or notify the maintainer if I cannot fix it.
4. Commit the change of default version.
