Please pick NONE or require absence eventually, but not multiple
options.  Else we're asking for inconsistent data from the beginning.

Since the difference between source and binary packages has already been
brought up, please adjust "<remote-id type="debian">" some way to
indicating if the text content is a source or a binary package (even if
we don't end up supporting both) to be 100% clear.  Otherwise people
will mix it up, and may not even notice.
