Bug#163015: apt: want binary->source mapping from apt-get source even when being explicit
Package: apt
Version: 0.5.4
Severity: wishlist
A specific source version can be retrieved by postfixing the
source name with an equals and then the version to fetch, simi-
lar to the mechanism used for the package files. This enables
exact matching of the source package name and version, implic-
itly enabling the APT::Get::Only-Source option.
152129 already notes that I can't fetch packages by release -- so I'd
like to be able to fetch them by explicit version, and I *still*
can't, without doing the bin->source mapping myself. (The real goal:
"I have a list of packages and a release -- give me all the sources"
ie, the sources to what actually got installed on something.)
