Bug#550952: apt: bogus message: No source package 'cupsddk' picking 'cups' instead
Package: apt
Version: 0.7.24
Severity: minor
Both cups and cupsddk build a binary package cupsddk. I wanted to download the
latter one:
$ apt-get source cupsddk=1.2.3-5

No source package 'cupsddk' picking 'cups' instead

dpkg-source: info: unpacking cupsddk_1.2.3.orig.tar.gz

The correct package was downloaded, but the "No source package 'cupsddk'
picking 'cups' instead" message is bogus.
