Could PPAs accept <distro>-proposed pockets?

Hi,

I tend to use PPAs to test-build my packages before I upload to
proposed for SRUs.

PPAs are very convenient for this. I get to test the build and it also
makes the packages available for me in a repository.

Problem is, I tend to forget to adjust the changelog line from, say,
"precise-proposed" to "precise" before uploading to the PPA, and then
I get this rejection email:

Rejected:
PPA uploads must be for the RELEASE pocket.

Would it be possible to make the PPAs accept these <distro>-proposed
uploads? Maybe mangle them into <distro> on-the-fly or something?
