Hello, I often find myself wanting to download a particular source package from some apt repository that I don't have in sources.list.
For me, this procedure seems annoyingly tedious. I have to: (a) become root, (b) edit sources.list (c) run apt-get update (d) become regular user again and run apt-get source (e) become root and delete the entry from sources.list again (f) run apt-get update again. Before I start hacking on a script, has someone else maybe already solved the problem? I'm thinking of a dget-like tool that accepts a source url, e.g. # fancy-dget http://http.debian.net/debian/ experimental mypackage would download the newest mypackage source from experimental. Bonus points if messing with the system wide sources.list is avoided entirely and no root privileges are required.
