Many people have said a lot of times that we break GPL and other licenses when we have binaries which don't have the corresponding source (mainly because different architectures have different versions of binary packages). How about adding source-sparc, source-m68k, source-alpha... directories, where one could find the source corresponding to the current binary packages in each architecture?
I think that's overkill, as has been suggested before, dinstall should keep a reference count for each source package, and not delete the source until there are no more references to it in the archive.
