How would one distinguish them? wanna-build might in some circumstances try to
build them because they're obviously missing their binaries. (It should not
happen if there's a newer source version available, but it could happen for
instance with source package (and binary packages) renames.)

So it would be better if we could filter them out somehow, I think.

Kind regards
