Binary packages with outdated sources



Hello world,

I've started playing around with verifying binary<->source relationships
the past few days, and I've come across a number of packages that appear
to have newer versions of the binaries than the source. The main reason
for this seems to be arch specific NMUs by the porters, but there are
a few seemingly normal maintainer uploads too.

It'd be nice if this could be minimised somewhat. Ideally, it'd be nice
if it were reduced to just uploads of the -x.x.1 variety (arch specific
recompiles). Even more ideally, it'd be nice if the Packages.gz entries
for these included a `source: foo (y-x.x)' so it's completely clear that
these are just recompiles.

Anyway, the list of affected packages for i386, m68k, alpha, sparc and
powerpc follows. FWIW, etc.

no source at all: (9 packages)
----------------
        (presumably leftovers that the ftp-admins missed removing?)

    sparc:
        kernel-source-2.2.9 (2.2.0-2), binary: kernel-image-2.2.9-sun4u

    powerpc:

        workplace (1.0.a4.1-1)
        libtricks (0.2-5)
        sorcerer (1.0)
        gtksamba (1:0.3.2pl1-4), binary: gtksamba-gnome, gtksamba
        libcanlock (0.0.980924-1), binary: libcanlock0{,-dev}
        gmp2 (2.0.2-6.2), binary: gmp2{,-dev}
        libjpeg (6a-11), binary: libjpegg{6a,-dev}
