debian/pool/main/([a-z]|lib[a-z])/<source name/

Like for ifupdown go to:

debian/pool/main/i/ifupdown/

and for libc6 go to:

debian/pool/main/glibc/

and for libxml2 go to (note the "lib" prefix):

debian/pool/main/libx/libxml2/

In each of these directories you will see all the source sets available
(.dsc, .diff.gz, .orig.tar.gz) and all deb's for each arch.
