No, I mean showsrc.

Hm, that's a bug. Bug #129970 in fact.

Yes, you do: take your existing deb entries and add parallel deb-src
entries, then update. For comparison, here's part of my sources.list:
# Main archive, remote mirror
deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian woody main contrib non-free
deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/non-US woody/non-US main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian woody main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/non-US woody/non-US main contrib non-free
# Security
deb http://security.debian.org woody/updates main contrib non-free
