(Get the code!)
I just ran in to this in our new mirroring system for pulling packages, hence my lateness to the party.
A cursory glance at my list suggests that William's characterization is correct; except for the language packs, these are pretty old packages.
There is an annoying wrinkle that .dsc's are normally gpg-signed by the package maintainer, so the .dsc could only be changed by removing the signature. Perhaps that's the right thing; I'm not sure.
However, nothing requires the Sources file to have only the headers in the .dsc; it would at least be an improvement to have the Sources file contain full hashes when it's generated, even if the .dsc (or the .changes) lack them.
