How do I go from a installed package and find its debian source?
On a Debian/Ubuntu system, if you have deb-src lines in your /etc/apt/sources.list,
then
apt-get source source-package-name
will retrieve the source and unpack it automatically.
If you don't have deb-src lines, they are the same as the usual deb lines
except that they begin with deb-src. For example, I have this in a sid
chroot used to build packages:
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian sid main contrib non-free
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian sid main contrib non-free
Hope this helps.
Note: As explained by Ole, if your program is libre, it is in the
best interest of everyone that you try to package it for Debian,
not just for yourself.
