I think this fall back should not be used, except for packages that build a single binary. It results in nonsense like: linux Xen system with Linux 3.16 on 64-bit PCs (meta-package) That description comes from the xen-linux-system-3.16-1-amd64 binary package; I don't how that would be the 'first' binary package. Using the package currently listed first in the control file, we would get: linux Linux kernel source for version 3.16 with Debian patches But this is still not a very sensible summary of the source package.
