Bug#27190: apt: installing source packages (wishlist)

[Remco van de Meent <remco@debian.org>]

Package: apt
Version: 0.1.6
Severity: wishlist

Hey,

I don't know if other people feel the same, but I'd really like it if I
could install source packages with apt too. Like 'apt-get install package'
would install the binary package called `package', 'apt-get source package'
could dpkg-source -x the corresponding package_version-rel.dsc in the
current directory.

Don't know if this would have great impact on apt, but it's just an idea :)

bye,
 -Remco
