Maybe.  Nobody is talking about CTAN (where PDF is all appropriate and
Source Specials make little sense).  We are talking about a TeXlive
tree, where the locations of source code and dvi file are fixed
relatively to each other, so with a properly set up compilation
environment, source specials should contain proper relative path names
pointing to the pristine source location of the TeXlive source tree.
