it used to that long ago, and I took it out on purpose. Using %n in the Source field is OK, but not at all required. There are two reasons for this: 1) It doesn't give us any advantage. With %v you have the advantage that to upgrade the package, you don't have to change the source field etc., only the version field. This advantage is lacking with %n 2) It causes problems when you have variants, like xchat and xchat-ssl. The xchat-ssl package can't use %n for the source. Hence you'd end up with two different values for source. But for the sake of simplicty and to take away a burden of the maintainer, it's just much simple to use the full name instead of %n in both cases.
