Public bug reported:

When I try
apt-get source coreutils
as standard user I get
Error: You must put some 'source' URIs in your sources.list
With sudo apt-get source works as expected.
Remove please the need of root privileges to download source packages.
I have deb-src lines in /etc/apt/sources.list.
