I'm afraid you're wrong there; I have some binNMUed packages here and
they do *not* indicate the source version.
$ dpkg -I liboo2c_1.5.9-3.0.1_powerpc.deb | grep Source
Source: oo2c
I know of no non-heuristic way to find the exact source version
associated with a binary-only NMU.

katie tries both of those possibilities.
