Hrm, possibly not that simple, as we could be invoked on a single binary
package which, outside of a suitably configured lab or checking
a .dsc / .changes containing the source, means that the source won't be
usefully available to compare the section against.

This could be checked in one of the source package scripts, although
that does mean doing so in a script that might not be the ideal
location.
