I'm working on expanding "Type: perl 5.x.y" to other languages, and am not sure how to handle the case for a package that is a versioned language but also a "Type: nosource". There's already one package that has this problem (slib-gu{14,16}) and there's no reason why there couldn't be a quick'n'dirty perl module completely in .patch, or other things that use the special magic of "Type: perl 5.x.y"/etc.
One solution would be to make Type a comma-separated list, but that seems like a lot of work. But really, it seems like having no source to download is an orthogonal idea to the other Type uses. Would be better to use the Source field to handle this? Maybe a special "Source: [none]" or just a null value or omitting the field completely would make sense and be relatively easier to implement.
