Not that I can find. I remembered having to restore the deb-src lines
after someone on this list (IIRC) suggesting doing that when I lost my
ability to see changelogs for upgradable files from within the aptitude
TUI. Restoring those deb-src lines did restore the ability to see the
changelogs in aptitude. I'm pretty sure my memory on this is correct.
I'm wondering if it was a bug in aptitude.
I'll try to do some research to find out whether or not this is simply
some confabulation / conflation created solely by my tiny mind.

Debian users should be encouraged to use. At the least they provide a
bit of a heads-up to the unwary during installations and upgrades.
I used apt-listbugs when I ran testing to avoid unpleasant surprises
(you just hold off on upgrading a day or two, and the surprise usually
goes away of its own accord).
For stable I don't see the point.
But I do get your point.
Depends what flavor (stable, testing, experiemental) of Debian
you're running, IMHO.
