Hmm. I don’t agree with that.  I’ll bet food labelers are required to be
accurate.

I think more than one project “assembles” the L & N files as part of the
build.  You can often append the additional binary package information to
the source package’s L & N.  I don’t know if any project is permitted to
ship an L & N in the source package that delineates what things are only
in the binary package.  People with more experience will answer that.
