This would remove the last reference to the binary package.  It may not be
needed by source packages with just one or two binary packages, but it is useful
to have when a source package builds a dozen or so packages.

E.g., I'm just not interested in samba or subversion reports, except for bug
reports concerning the python bindings python-samba and python-subversion. If
that information is available in some other place, please point it out.
