Bug#136055: apt-get source gets confused looking for pine source package

[Andrew Pimlott <andrew@pimlott.ne.mediaone.net>]

Package: apt
Version: 0.5.4
Severity: normal

I have two "testing" machines, one which has pine packages built from
the old pine4-src and pine4-diffs packages, one which has no pine
packages.  On the latter, "apt-get source pine" works as expected.  On
the former, I get

    % apt-get source pine
    Reading Package Lists... Done
    Building Dependency Tree... Done
    E: Unable to find a source package for pine4

The reason appears to be that the pine binary package has "Source:
pine4".

I'm not sure what the apt philosophy is on this, but there should
certainly be a way to force a source package of a given name, not
attempt binary->source package mappings.  (I couldn't find one in the
manual.)
