Yes. That's the easiest way to achieve this. Please make a Sid (Unstable) chroot (that's very simple to achieve by using debootstrap(8)), then chroot(8) into it and enable experimental in your chroot-local sources.list. >From there you can develop as you are used to it. When actually doing an upload, make sure you target the right distribution in debian/changelog and make sure pbuilder/sbuild or whatever else you are using to build clean packages has enabled experimental, too e.g. [1]. Your sponsor will hopefully carefully check that.
