Hi Adrian,

That's because the (source) package is still in testing, but only
because another package (in testing) was built using it:

udd=> select source,extra_source_only from sources where source='banshee' and 
release='stretch';
 source  | extra_source_only 
---------+-------------------
 banshee | t
(1 row)

For example:

Package: gnome-do-plugins
Version: 0.8.5-4
[...]
Built-Using: banshee (= 2.6.2-4)

It's not clear what to do in that case; I think that being on the safe side is
considering that the package is still in testing, because we would ship that
source. In some cases (e.g. undistributable source) it would make to go further
and really remove it completely from testing.
