Only did a quick grep:

% git grep -n "\"src:" **/*.ml
applications/deb-buildcheck.ml:182:          let (name,filter) = Debian.Debutil.debvpkg to_cudf (("src:"^n,a),c) in
deb/debcudf.ml:343:    if String.starts_with pkg#name "src:" then
deb/sources.ml:235:  let sn = CudfAdd.encode ("src:"^(CudfAdd.get_property "source" binpkg)) in
deb/tests.ml:875:      "any/native", "src:source1", returns [
deb/tests.ml:883:      "stage1", "src:source2", returns [
deb/tests.ml:892:      "indep", "src:source3", returns [
