Bench bleeding a new/rebuilt brake master cylinder

Would it be acceptable to install the MC on the power brake booster, and "bench" bleed it using the brake pedal? Would still be using the plugs/tubes that came with the MC per instructions, seems the only difference is I'd be using the car's brake pedal linkage to operate the MC instead of clamping the MC to a bench and manually pushing the cylinder. Just think it would be less messy to install the MC dry vs. wet, hence the question.
