Series initialisation should (optionally?) also copy post-release pockets

Bug Description

Part of the process for opening a new Ubuntu series is carefully moving (which involves copying, with and without binaries, depending on build state, checking results, then deleting origin) everything from $old-proposed to $new-proposed.

It would be much less hassle (and much less error prone) if series init just copied the state of post-release pockets from source to target, same as it does for the release pocket.

Yes, this also means that some 0-day SRUs might get copied forward into $new-updates, but having to reconcile a few of those is much less effort than dealing with the (often hundreds) of packages in proposed.

This doesn't appear to have worked. eoan init didn't populate any post-release pockets, as far as I can tell.
