Looks like it didn't help.  This is a fresh install now.  I selected
all the devel stuff in taskel 
    dpkg -l |grep 'debhel\|build-ess\|dpkg-dev'

expi:~# dpkg -l |grep 'debhel\|build-ess\|dpkg-dev'
ii  build-essentia 6              Informational list of build-essential packag
ii  debhelper      3.4.1          helper programs for debian/rules
ii  dpkg-dev       1.9.19         Package building tools for Debian

Still apt-get -b source vim
 Fails with the same message as reported.

Its not essential that I get this working right now.  I can install
the binaries.  This was a trial for some planned activity.

I selected nearly a full install in tasksel leaving out only the
newsserver and foreign language stuff.
