If that's the case, yes that is what you do, just submit it for -stable
and add a note to the top of the commit message body that says something
like:

	[ Not relevant upstream, therefore no upstream commit. ]

As -stable submissions have to say what their upstream commit ID is
otherwise.

CC: me on the submission, thank you.

Thanks.
