I think you shouldn’t do that anyway.

After all, to do that, you’d have to manually install the new version
of bar in the chroot you used to build foo, which is a violation of the
“clean, minimal chroot” rule if read strictly (and, from experience with
bad non-buildd uploads, I tend to read it strictly).

So, normally, you can only upload a new version of foo after bar gets
available on your regular mirror. (Making it temporarily available
locally for development is, of course, okay – just don’t upload that.)
