The simplest way is:
1. Make sure you have an appropriate source line in
/etc/apt/sources.list; e.g.:
deb-src http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free
2. cd /usr/src (or any other suitable directory in which you have
write permission)
3. apt-get source packagename
The source will then be downloaded into ./packagename-version
