No, it does not.

That's just how packages.d.o represents things; the tracker page is
less misleading.

Any thoughts about my proposal to lift that expectation?

A number of source versions are being kept for some reason:
$ rmadison linux-signed-amd64 -s unstable
linux-signed-amd64 | 6.10.9+1 | unstable | source
linux-signed-amd64 | 6.10.11+1 | unstable | source
linux-signed-amd64 | 6.10.12+1 | unstable | source
linux-signed-amd64 | 6.11.2+1 | unstable | source
linux-signed-amd64 | 6.11.4+1 | unstable | source
linux-signed-amd64 | 6.11.5+1 | unstable | source
linux-signed-amd64 | 6.11.6+1 | unstable | source
linux-signed-amd64 | 6.11.7+1 | unstable | source
linux-signed-amd64 | 6.11.9+1 | unstable | source
linux-signed-amd64 | 6.11.10+1 | unstable | source
linux-signed-amd64 | 6.12.3+1 | unstable | source
Note: this isn't a case of Extra-Source-Only fun.
(Another way to see this is to `apt-cache showsrc linux` in a sid
environment, you'll see the many versions.)
Binaries stay around and nothing seems to show up in the cruft report.
