The use case that we had for this the other day was just to get the
source package name for the given binary publication, as there no
information in

https://launchpad.net/+apidoc/devel.html#binary_package_publishing_history

that can provide it.

I don't see a problem with what you want to provide in addition to
that, assuming that dsc_binaries is pretty reliable.

Thanks,
