Package: dpkg
Version: 1.16.9
dpkg-deb doesn't show the Source for a package when the source name is
the same as the package name. dpkg itself makes an excellent example.
Expected behavior: `dpkg-deb --show
--showformat='${Package}\n${Source}\n' dpkg_1.16.12_amd64.deb` will
show dpkg twice, once for Package and once for Source.
Actual behavior: It shows dpkg once for the Package, but not for the Source.

Expected behavior: `dpkg-deb --show
--showformat='${Package}\n${Source}\n' dpkg-dev_1.16.12_amd64.deb`
will show dpkg-dev once for Package and dpkg once for Source.

This is expected, because those packages will not have such field.
With older dpkg versions, when querying the database (dpkg-query) or
a binary package (dpkg-deb), you'll need to fallback to use Package
if Source is missing. With newer dpkg (>= 1.16.2) you can use the new
virtual fields, which will give the value you want in all cases:
dpkg-deb --showformat='${source:Package}\n' --show dpkg-dev*.deb
You can find more information in the dpkg-query man page. I'm thus
closing this bug report, but feel free to reopen if there's something
missing from this.
Thanks,
Guillem
