I'm expecting it to work this way, yes. Or at least, I've been patiently
waiting for my 0.4.2.6 deb too. :)

I expect that the workflow involves the real Tor deb going through the
general Debian process, and then once it is available in the real Debian
repositories (even if it's just the unstable ones), then the packages
get mirrored onto deb.torproject.org.

So, give it a couple of days and hopefully it will appear.
