Martin explained it in the first documenatation:
"The difference between sources and packages
You might be a bit confused why in the above output there are Sources
and Packages. The main reason for having sources and packages separately
is that there are some sources out there that produce programs used in
several packages. Or in other words, it sometimes makes sense to just
build the sources (like util-linux for example) only once and create
several packages out of the resulting binaries."


But I believe it was never really used (consequently) that way, so it
seems unnecessary.
