That is a good question.  I believe that I asked for that or an
equivalent feature a very long time ago, but afiak, there is no trivial
way to do it. 

One trick that would get you half way there would be to set the
transaction to always be "created in advance" by a few days before the
deposit date, then on those odd weeks manually correct the date. 
Creative thinking will often find some sort of work-around.
