Package: apt
Version: 0.6.46.4
Severity: normal

apt-get source does not seem to respect pinning.  I have experimental in
my sources.list and pinned to -1 (so experimental packages won't be
installed unless explicitly requested).  If I run apt-get source,
however, the experimental source package is downloaded.  I would expect
that the source package which corresponds to the binary which is
installed by apt-get install would instead be obtained.

Pinning is for binary packages, it doesn't feel right to overload its
meaning now for source packages, too, especially as source is documented
to download the newest available version by default, so that would need
to be special cased complicating the manpage further…

So, not a bug & closing.
