Well, if we have a source package in our archive, aren't we supposed to
also ship the corresponding binary packages? If not it may be confusive
for users already used to our archive style (read: we'll get a lot of
emails asking "I've found the source of package foo in your archive, but
the binary is missing, what's wrong?").
I rather put those packages in a special 'src-only' section (along with
pine, qmail & co.) but I agree it's a bit too late to implement that for
hamm (still doable for slink though).
