No. There's no harm in sending multiple versions thru the cycle.
If there are no other "blockages" or problems, a package is supposed
to sit in Unstable before being automagically moved to Testing.
In the case of Opera, since Debian can't distribute it, what would
be packaged would probably be an "installer" script that would grab
the DEB or tarball from opera.com and then install it onto the system.
