Try apt-get source -b qmail
I think both qmail and pine4 changed from having a x-src package to
having only a debian source package instead.
Although it appears that qmail-src on i386 says you must install it
first, which seems odd since that to me just means the package
maintainer didn't write the package properly to generate valid
preinst/postinst when it makes a package. How weird.
