t-p-u is supposed to be for situations where the package in unstable
can't migrate for some reason, not so you can upload a version you
know /won't be allowed/ to migrate. :-(  It's certainly not intended as
a means of circumventing the request we made in the last d-d-a mail (and
earlier ones) to upload squeeze-targeted changes to unstable.

For one thing, (next to) no-one tests packages in t-p-u before they hit
testing.
