No, that tag is used for informational purposes only.

In the pending-sru report here:

http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/pending-sru.html

The only way we're going to see that it is ready for release is that the
bugs for a package are all green or purple. Green means verification-done,
purple means verification-done *and* verification-needed, usually caused
by verification only being done in one of the releases.

We don't want to make the release-specific tags the way to get it
released, because we have to consider the impact of having it fixed in
one release, and not in the next, so purple is a signal to us on that
report that we need to think carefully about whether or not to release.
