So the answer is "no, today's -weekly releases are essentially
tomorrow's stable releases", right?  E.g., upstream says:

  The release tag is given, less often, to those weekly releases that
  have proven themselves to be robust.

I think it's great to have some weekly snapshots packaged, BTW.  What
I am trying to understand is why that implies having two separate
source packages.
