The core problem is that you can't rebuild the same version more than once in a pool-based repository. You'd need to upload different builds (from each series) of the same binary version, and there's nowhere to put them because the indexes can only refer to one file in the pool for each version.
If you want to do it, the only solution is to bump the version. Ubuntu does this by appending ~hardy or ~intrepid, for example, to the version of the package.

Not really, it means you would need to tell people about different sources.list entries if they upgrade. The preferred way of doing this is, in this order:
* copy to the new series, and include binaries.
* upload a new version specifically for the series if you *have* to rebuild
