A similar situation could arise with main/contrib or contrib/non-free I presume, so this isn't a new problem. `pkgAcqChangelog::URI(pkgCache::VerIterator const&)` in apt-pkg/acquire-item.cc would need to be changed from using a VerFileIterator from the binary package to going 'manually' on the hunt for a (= there be many…) Sources file(s) containing the source package and from there get the Section and from that also the Release file. Alternatively, the server side could just merge the components as there can't really be different source packages with the same name in different components and the metadata hopefully doesn't have the same restrictions applied to it than the packages itself… Either way, that just as a comment as I won't be working on a fix for now as I remember people talking about completely overhauling the implementation/setup client and/or server anyhow.
