Well the obvious answere here is the one you don't want: apt-get
source, apt-cache showsrc.
dcontrol doesn't do binary->source mapping, so you'd need to code that
in two steps by looking at the Source: header (and falling back to
Package if it's not there).
Otherwise, you could probably look at the PTS, it also links to the
.dsc (and does redirect you to the source package if you ask for a
binary).
