can we use git-flow in support branch?

We are using support branches for LTS baiscally.
it would be good to have the same principle and commands for features/hotfix/releases (or just one of these) that starts from the current branch. I guess releases would be the right candidate.

An example
branch: support/3.2.X
git describe: 3.2.1

(i'm in the support/3.2.X branch)
git flow start release 3.2.2
this will start from support/3.2.X
and will merge to that branch when over.

Basically it uses the support branch as the master.

Is it feasible? or what should be the strategy to add a new relase in a support branch?

I am interested in this, too ; )
