 No, you can't. A tarball containing all source packages available on
 ftp.debian.org would be about 40 GB big.

Well, yeah it's big, but you still CAN download it all in one bundle, as 
if creating a mirror:

See basic instructions here:
http://www.debian.org/mirror/ftpmirror

(You'd have to tweak things to get source and nothing else.)

 You know, a contribution is generally regarded as something that adds
 value.

I assume by this comment that, David, that your patches to the Debian kernel 
have been of much superior quality than Sven's? Or are you just whining 
and finger pointer on the mailing lists? [1]

 Hi Sven,

 are you part of an organisation called GNAA?

Regardless of how you[1] feel about Sven, can you please stop trolling him? 

I know this was probably meant to be funny because it's a recent Debian 
mȇme, this is really just antagonizing Sven.

 Hi, just a question, which distributions of Linux are REAL open-source,
 non-commercial 100% for commercial use?

 I'm doing intelligent houses i need a stable version of linux for the
 server that runs my programs, control the circuits,etc etc, and i want to
 know several posibilities about Linux.
 Debian is one, Slackware also or not? there are another ?

Some popular ones are Debian, Ubuntu, Gentoo, Slackware and Fedora. Since 
this is a Debian list, you can imagine that most of us would recommend you 
stick with Debian. Afterall, most of us here have tried *many* 
distributions over the years, and come to prefer Debian for a variety of 
reasons.

You can go to a site such as http://distrowatch.com/ to compare GNU, Linux, 
and BSD distributions yourself. They list a lot of details about tons of 
distributions, including their project background, a little bit about how 
they work technically, their commercial status, etc.

  all running buildd + sbuild. Altogether those 8 emulated ARM machines
  should be faster than all the Debian ARM build daemons. I have setup a

  100 packages.

 I don't think this is the proper way; [...]

Right, the proper way is for the appropriate people (DPL, DSAs, buildd 
infrastructure people, whoever can actually DO something about it) to 
say, awesome, Aurelien! Thanks for taking some initiative, setting this 
up, and providing both your time and hardware to *vastly* expand the power 
of the ARM buildds! Now, let's integrate that into the regular buildd 
system by [doing some productive action ...]

So, Mr. DPL -- if this is *not* happening because no one is communicating, 
or whatever, can you please take some responsibility here? Help 
communication, assign more delegates, or work this yourself?

 There I came accross with an e-mail address of debian.org.

 Pls comment if you have any knowlwde about this subject.

It was just a spam, and a very typical scam. 

It has nothing to do with Debian http://www.debian.org/, which is a 
project that develops and maintains a free operating system based on 
GNU/Linux. =)
