Maybe those tools should be changed to use pkg:source instead. That's
the only sane option to support, given that we seem to use 'source' in
APT in someparts, and that the multi-arch syntax is pkg:arch.
And If I recall correctly, I wrote almost the same thing some time
ago in another bug report asking for the same thing.
