You are correct, I missed these either because dpkg-scanpackages has not been
invoked with -tudeb or udebs are not built for the official archive. I'll
investigate further how to tackle these as well.

That is interesting indeed, as it is actually found in:
bug/installation-report/control:Submit-As: installation-reports
I forgot to mention that I didn't actually dissected all source packages
themselves, but processed the meta information instead as provided by:
/var/lib/dpkg/available
/var/lib/apt/lists/*_Packages
/var/lib/apt/lists/*_Sources
/var/lib/dpkg/status
