Hi Martin,

The contents of all source packages is already available in 
Contents-source.gz on your favourite mirror [1]. That means you can:

$ apt-file -a source update
…
$ apt-file -a source -l search debian/tests/control
apipkg
bobo
bzr
bzr-email
bzr-fastimport
bzr-git
…
$ apt-file -a source -l search debian/tests/control | wc -l
66

Maybe this is an easier option than adding yet another new field 
and patching tools to generate it.

cheers
Stuart
