Bug#50970: apt: wishlist: apt-get source should allow source filename to be specified too
Package: apt
Version: 0.3.14
Severity: wishlist
'apt-get source netfilter' doesn't work, and I have to type
'apt-get source netfilter-source' to get the netfilter source, which is named
'netfilter'. It would be less counter-intuitive to allow the package to be
specified by the source name too.
