yes, binNMUs change the sources, despite their name. they are a hack.

see #894441: 'binNMUs should be replaced by easy 
"no-change-except-debian/changelog-uploads"'

though by now I've realized that binNMUs are needed by the releaseteam
to get transitions done, and thus binNMUs should be followed (once the
transition in question is done) by (easily triggered) sourceful uploads,
to get all archs in sync, also for multiarch.

nope, please dont. using changelog entries inconsistently is a recipe
for desaster.
