Yeah, but this only helps if you've got a source version to compare
to. You could derive that from a binary version if you've got the
corresponding Package entry, but this information might not be
available anymore when you need it.
Furthermore, it's not particularly useful to address the
inconsistencies added by binNMUs when there are other problems. Some
binary packages have different version numbering schemes on different
architectures, or they are built from different source packages.
