I suggested this to Ansgar on IRC because even if we already have all the
required information, it's painful to extract it from the Source field
implementing the required fallback on the Package and Version fields.

Thus I believe that those virtual fields would be useful.

I don't think that this brings us anything significant. The former virtual
fields ought to be enough.
