Not automatically, no.  However, if you ask the Release Team nicely,
they might consider making an exception.  Specifically, you'd want to
file an unblock request against the release.debian.org pseudopackage:

  $ reportbug release.debian.org
  [...]
  What sort of request is this? (If none of these things mean anything to you, or
  you are trying to report a bug in an existing package, please press Enter to
  exit reportbug.)
  
  1 binnmu      binNMU requests
  2 britney     testing migration script bugs
  3 other       None of the other options
  4 rm          Stable/Testing removal requests
  5 squeeze-pu  squeeze proposed updates requests
  6 transition  transition tracking
  7 unblock     unblock requests
  8 wheezy-pu   wheezy proposed updates requests
  
  Choose the request type: 7
  Please enter the name of the package: pcl
  Checking status database...
  Please enter the version of the package: 1.7.2-1
  
  
  Enter any additional addresses this report should be sent to; press ENTER after
  each address. Press ENTER on a blank line to continue.

You can disregard the request for a diff against testing, since this
package is wholly new.
