Thanks for the lengthy analysis!

IMO only these cases should appear in the archive:
source:$area binary:$area # same $area, mandated by policy
source:main binary:contrib # iirc there is a policy exception for that
source:non-free binary:non-free-firmware # recently added, may need to 
be addressed in the policy, together with non-free-firmware

any other source:$area1 binary:$area2 combination (regardless of liberty 
order) should be prohibited (i.e. E: archive-liberty-mismatch)

There is one special case: for source:$area1 binary:$area2 mixed area 
exceptions there must be at least one other binary2:area1 package
(i.e. source must build at least one package in its area).

Do the existing test cases cover all these cases?

There should probably be
for sarea in $areas
  for barea in $areas
    try Source:spkg #Section:
        Package:pkg1 Section:foo/$sarea
        Package:pkg2 Section:foo/$barea
    try Source:spkg #Section:
        Package:pkg2 Section:foo/$barea
        Package:pkg1 Section:foo/$sarea
    try Source:spkg #Section:
        Package:pkg2 Section:foo/$barea
    try Source:spkg Section:foo/$sarea
        Package:pkg1 #Section:foo/$sarea
        Package:pkg2 Section:foo/$barea
    try Source:spkg Section:foo/$sarea
        Package:pkg2 Section:foo/$barea

That should generate tests for all (im-)possible combinations.
The first three are for guessing the area from the first binary package 
if the Source stanza has no section.

Please include the dkms patch (see other bug), too.

Then you should try src:nvidia-cuda-toolkit ;-) Lintian needs 3-4 hours 
and about 50GB in /tmp to process a binary build. On nvme.
I'll probably come back with a bug report about lintian crashing (after 
a few hours) when processing cuda 12 (but first need to check with the 
latest lintian version again and also check that there was enough free 
space in /tmp)
