thanks
I have just reported a bug against Ubuntu [1], where apt requires me
to have "deb" entries for the Debian releases to make "apt-get source"
pick versions from there.
With only "deb-src" entries for Debian, it fails as follows:
1. apt-get source backuppc=3.2.1-2
This picks the Ubuntu version (3.2.1-2ubuntu1)
2. apt-get source backuppc/unstable
E: Ignore unavailable target release 'unstable' of package 'backuppc'
E: Unable to find a source package for
3. apt-get source -t testing backuppc
E: The value 'testing' is invalid for APT::Default-Release as such a
release is not available in the sources
