Mainly the last, although it's not a set policy.

The normal scripts that push out the security and fastbug errata have 
the debuginfo and source rpm's automatically pushed out.

The scripts that move a release out into the rolling area, and then over 
to the final area, do things in steps.  So there is a separate script 
for the i386 area, the x86_64 area, the source rpm area, and the 
debuginfo area.

Until we hit the release candidate stage, the source rpm area and the 
debuginfo area are sorta optional.  We may or may not run the source rpm 
script, depending on how busy we are at the time, or if we have been 
having problems with packages and we might not want the source rpm's to 
be pushed out because they are still in flux.

I just ran the script, so all the source rpm's should be up in the 
rolling area now.
