The current version doesn't support that and probably never will.

My current development version can be found at

It should be quite easy to add this feature in this version.
But I can't promise any timeline when it will replace the
current code because I'm waiting on the admins to upgrade
the server hosting the site to etch first. You can find
a running instance of the code at
http://packages.debian.net/ though.

The currently running version can be found at

http://cvs.debian.org/packages/?root=webwml
