Yes, that's how it works currently.

Since this also makes autobuilding experimental harder, work is being
done to use ``apt-cache policy'' output to determine whether the right
version of a package is available and break off if not, but it's still
got some bugs (including situations where the build is broken off
because sbuild (incorrectly) thinks the right version of a package isn't
available).
