"Historical" isn't quite the right way to put it. Ever since I
introduced -proposed for the development series, the archive has always
automatically redirected to -proposed for normal uploads.
However, copies using the Archive.copyPackage webservice API must still
explicitly specify pocket="Proposed" (not least because the
proposed-migration process itself uses that API, so redirecting it would
be extremely confusing).
So you can't just e.g. revert my commit
cc55071afd6fdc06b574edc356792f54e17e which introduced the -proposed
suffix here, because the suffix appearing in the changelog was really
just a side-effect of making copies work correctly. You could perhaps
make sync_dsc strip off -proposed when running dch on the grounds of the
implicit redirection, but you'd have to take care not to break other
special cases like running syncpackage into -security and that kind of
thing which might be expected not to strip the pocket suffix.
I don't know whether the extra complexity is worth it.
