I think I'm seeing the same bug, or at least something related. The problem in my case is that apt-get source doesn't simply take the name I pass it and obtain the source, but makes a binary->source conversation. My example is gnome-main-menu. In etch, gnome-main-menu only exists as a binary package which is generated from slab. However, in newer releases gnome-main-menu is also a source package. In my sources list, I have: deb http://ftp.osuosl.org/debian etch main deb-src http://ftp.osuosl.org/debian sid main instead of simply taking gnome-main-menu as a source package and obtaining it from sid, apt will make a binary->source conversation based on etch and try to download the slab package - which doesn't work because I'm using a deb-src from sid rather than etch.
