That's it. With a few rare exceptions (that don't apply here), we file
exactly one ITP per source.

Debian source packages also have a name. We normaly use that for the ITP.
For simple 1:1 packages the source name is usualy the same as the binary name,
but that's absolutely not a requisite.
For example, the "xfree86" source package provides a gazillon of binary
packages but there's no "xfree86" binary package as such (And soon won't be
any "xfree86" at all anyway ;).
