I support this move in principle, but:

This is not going to fly for src:linux.  We can't stage ABI bumps in
experimental as we typically have a different upstream versions in
unstable and experimental.  We even need to do ABI bumps in stable from
time to time.

I think that the requirement to upload binary packages for binary-NEW
(but not source-NEW) needs to go.
