This isn't entirely fixed IMHO, or a regression has occurred - the only
way I can get an old version's source is if I have a corresponding 'deb'
line in my sources as well as a 'deb-src' line, which is inconvenient.
I think that solely the 'deb-src' line should be required for getting
sources.

$ apt-get --version
