BTW, there is a nice package called debget for fetching the source of
a package:
Description: download source and binary Debian packages
debget downloads source and binary Debian packages by name. It doesn't
require a local copy of the Packages files, instead it lists directories
on the FTP site to find out what versions are available.
It can be found in the unstable/main/utils section of debian.
