"scour.pm" is an dh sequencer add-on and is strictly speaking unrelated
to why the script would misplace the provider of the "dh_scour" command.
 In the concrete case, they are both provided by the same package in sid
though.

As for why the script gets it wrong:

"""
$ zgrep dh_scour Contents-i386.gz
usr/bin/dh_scour                                        python/scour
usr/share/man/man1/dh_scour.1.gz                        python/scour
$
"""

Looks like our data source is wrong if dh_scour is truly not from the
"scour" package.

Thanks,
