There are several ways this would be useful:

To replace all librust-*-dev and golang-*-dev packages (they contain
source code).

To replace all toolchain -source packages, so that cross-compiling
toolchains can be built from separate source packages.

To replace all out-of-tree Linux kernel module -source packages, so
that dkms/etc doesn't need a binary package duplicating the source.

Anywhere you want to build multiple independent build configurations
of the same source code in different ways.
