It does - however, you have to wait with uploading binary-only packages
as long as their source is waiting for approval. (And, as of now, there
is no way to approve packages.)

The question is however: should we try to keep the "old" udebs in stable
also? Are they not overwritten by the point release? Or should we try to
change stable so that we have two versions of the udebs in stable?
