Package: apt
Version: 0.5.4
Severity: normal
I have two "testing" machines, one which has pine packages built from
the old pine4-src and pine4-diffs packages, one which has no pine
packages. On the latter, "apt-get source pine" works as expected. On
the former, I get
% apt-get source pine
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
E: Unable to find a source package for pine4
The reason appears to be that the pine binary package has "Source:
pine4".
I'm not sure what the apt philosophy is on this, but there should
certainly be a way to force a source package of a given name, not
attempt binary->source package mappings. (I couldn't find one in the
manual.)

I think you want the --only-source option, it is in the man page.
