If you add some deb-src lines in your /etc/apt/sources.list, you can use
'apt-get source package' to get the source. Make sure you are using an
up-to-date mirror, and that you use the unstable branch of the
distribution.
(also, apt-get build-dep is very nice for getting build-dependencies for
packages.)

If you could get exim and its dependencies sorted out, everybody here
would absolutely love you. Apart from that, all packages not currently
building are worth a look, as the fact that they are in the turtles at
all means that the packages are kind of important to somebody.
Check http://www.debian.org/devel/ for more information on building
packages. (especially make sure that you have all the build-essential
ones)
