+     Only has meaning for the <literal/source/ command.  Indicates that the
+     given source names are not to be mapped through the binary
+     table.  This means that if this option is specified, the
+     <literal/source/ command will only accept source package names as
+     arguments, rather than accepting binary package names and looking
+     up the corresponding source package.
