We do ship the source for all these packages, it's simply not listed in the the Sources.gz file. We've been doing this ever since we switched to the pool/ structure almost three years ago. As an example, the perl 5.8.2-1 source is only being kept around in the pool because perl on mipsel is out of date. galeon 1.3.3.20030419-1 seems to be in a similar situation.
