It searches for bugs on the source package, which in this case is kdebase. You can change this behavior with --no-query-source. My guess for the reason that --query-source is that quite frequently, especially with libraries, bugs will be filed on the package in which someone has found a bug, but the bug will also be present in other packages from the same source. For example, see #145786, filed on libarts1 over 3 and one-half *years* ago (and still not fixed). This bug is still present in libarts1c2a, but because they are from the same source package, it can be assumed that the maintainers know about this.
