If upstream doesn't intend to reuse version numbers, you're over-
complicating with the PPA business.  Just do this "soft" release to
proposed, test it and, if it sucks, remove and iterate, if it's good,
everyone wins.

If the concen is auto-migration in the devel series, you can file
blocking bugs that you close when the upstream QA is complete, so
that "bad" binaries don't slip in, thus mirroring the SRU process.
