Are you sure that is the reason why it isn't working? From recollection, source package info is found in the Sources list, rather than the Packages list, so the fact that a package isn't available for your architecture shouldn't preclude it from being listed in the Sources file (of which there is only one across all architectures). I suspect your problem may be that you don't have any applicable apt-src lines in your sources.list. - Matt Who has never played with anything other than x86, so might be totally wrong about everything given above
