+1.
I *was* using the repo's packages for Ubuntu - but when I wanted to try
fts-flatcurve I needed something to compile against. I'd rather do so
against the repo sources if possible.

Is there a particular reason you need to build source packages?
There are sometimes moments when I want to test out a code change in a program
I'm running on a server. If a source package is available, I can make the
change and build a new package that includes all of the Ubuntu customizations
for that program plus the change I am testing. To test, I just manually
install the package. To revert, I reinstall the original package with apt.
Without a source package, testing might require complex steps with the upstream
source and customization information that I may not have access to.
Thanks,
