Hm I just noticed you have Sources.gz there too.

I think it'd be more useful if the sources were listed in the main
debian Sources.gz. After all, some packages (busybox) are going to build
.deb's and .udeb's from the same source -- were you planning to put such
sources in both Sources files? Also, I don't see any problem with 
apt-get source being able to pull the sources to even dedicated .udeb 
packages like main-menu; it seems convenient to allow that.
