I just remembered something that was the cause of a long since resolved 
rpmlint bug: RPMTAG_SOURCERPM is also empty for installed gpg-pubkey 
packages, so they would fall into the "it's a source" category above.

There's a headerIsSource() in rpm's lib/header.h, is that exposed to Python 
somewhere?  I suppose yum is not the only package wanting to offload this 
issue to rpm ;)
