Bug#335920: please provide 'apt-cache srcpolicy'

[LI Daobing <lidaobing@gmail.com>]

Package: apt
Version: 0.6.42.1
Severity: wishlist

Please provide 'apt-cache srcpolicy'.

I like the output of the apt-cache policy, but it does not work on
source packges, how about provide one?

for example, I use a deb-src source from mentors.debian.net, there isn't
a easy way to print the aviable source versions cleanly. 

Thanks.
