Yes, the behavior you're observing is indeed the current behavior as
far as I know, so my patches are not changing this. Indeed, we could
discuss whether source-check should check only primary site + upstream
site, or primary site + upstream site + sources.b.o.

From a BR maintenance point of view, checking only primary site +
upstream is probably better as it means we can get notified when an
upstream has disappeared.

But from a BR user point of view, what's important is that the source
code remains available *somewhere*, be it from upstream or sources.b.o.

So I'm not very decided on this. Opinions welcome.
