According to Lintian [1] all sources among the 33,721 sources in unstable and experimental—except perhaps the ones listed below—have a Section field in the source stanza of d/control. [2] You can see for yourself by querying our JSON interface [3] with this command: wget -O no-source-section.hints 'https://lintian.debian.net/query/contexts?tag=no-source-section' It returns an empty array: [] The following sources were not checked (for resource reasons): - firefox - firefox-esr - linux - llvm-toolchain-9 - llvm-toolchain-10 - llvm-toolchain-11 - llvm-toolchain-snapshot - nvidia-cuda-toolkit - thunderbird I believe the tag functions properly because there is a unit test for it.
