I don't think this has ever been possible. The packages would need to
be uploaded again to unstable, presumably at the appropriate
dependency level in the transition.
Seeing these packages would be NEW, even if they were initially
uploaded directly to unstable, they would likely still require
source-only uploads for migration anyway.

No, after the NEW packages have cleared NEW and the moreinfo tag is
removed, we'll consider a slot for the transition. We would like to
avoid stalling the transition with multiple packages going through
NEW, and putting pressure on FTP Masters by telling them a package is
needed for a transition is not nice either.
