I actually would be in favor of using the -bin suffix even for packages without a non-bin variant.
I was under the impression that `-bin` was to be used for any pre-compiled version (e.g. whether sourced from upstream or from deb or RPM etc.)?
It's not about the source of the binaries, it's about proprietary software that does not, and can never, have a non-bin version. For example, steam in Community would need to be steam-bin as it's just repackaging upstream binaries.
