You can't. Only binary packages can be installed, not source packages.

In this case, "apt-get source etoile" will download and unpack the
source package into the current directory. You don't need root rights
for that operation.

Because aptitude only deals with binary packages, and the etoile source
package builds a binary package named "dictionaryreader.app".
