This case is something interesting. If you see the hello package in
[1], There are 2 versions of the binary package.

All x86 and ARM architectures  have version "2.10-1+deb9u1"
Rest of the architectures like mips, s390 and ppc have "2.10-1+b1"

Since we are using --only-source option to download, apt skips the
binary to source translation and directly fetches the latest source.
Which is "2.10-1+deb9u1". That is how it could be done, since the
recipe here is just the debian source file name.
But if you see by apt-cache policy the installation candidate for
mipsel is 2.10-1+b1 and the corresponding source version is "2.10-1".

Ideally we should pull 2.10-1 instead of 2.10-1+deb9u1 for mipsel.
That is what the binary is available for?

I know a non-maintainer upload will have a different binary package
version (+bX), but will point to the same source.
Here there are 2 different sources for different archs.
I am not sure if there are other such packages which have a similar
scenario. Just wanted to gather info on it here.
