It is the latter. There is also a source package in the Debian sense. The serious tag is for when a package no longer builds from source (known as FTBFS), usually on the autobuilders. This refers to the Debian source package. The fact that you can't build from the loop-aes-source against newer kernels is regrettable, but does not warrant a bug of severity serious I'm afraid.
