It is an instance of L::ProcessableGroup, which can provide access a L::Proccessable for the source package (if provided to the lintian call, otherwise it will be undef). The L::Processable has an "info" paramenter, which gives you the L::Collect::Source you want. :) The "checks/group-checks.pm" file uses something similar to this and might possibly be a useful reference.
