You can override the series in the changelog by uploading to a
different location on the FTP server. The path is parsed like this:
~<personname>[/ppa_name]/<distroname>[/distroseriesname]
So if you add the series as the last path part it'll do what you want.
(I don't think the ppa target in /etc/dput.cf deals with this so
you'll need to add a custom section)
