Does this custom apply to NEW packages as well? For example, I had
squid (which replaces squid3) uploaded on monday Aug 20th
(https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/cosmic/+queue?queue_state=0&queue_text=squid),
but it's still in NEW.

Besides the source package rename, (squid3 -> squid), it is also a new
major version (3.5 -> 4.1).
