Bug#83528: I would like to know the source for a given package

[Stephane Bortzmeyer <bortzmeyer@pasteur.fr>]

Package: apt
Version: 0.3.19
Severity: wishlist

It would be nice to have a way to know the source (as written in
sources.list) of a given package. Something like:

apt-cache showsrc PACKAGENAME

If this info is available, it would be useful for a search engine in
the unofficial source list
<http://www.internatif.org/bortzmeyer/debian/apt-sources/>.

Bug #76322 seems related but not identical. I don't want all sources,
just the one apt will use for a given package.

The modification I suggest could be useful for #66325, too (knowing
the source before trusting it).
