Package: multistrap
Severity: normal

looks like multistrap 2.1.13 (from svn) is incapable of downloading
source for some packages.  For example source-code for bash is missing
when used with Ubuntu Lucid repositories. 

The problem seems to be caused by multistrap querying the 'Source' field
of the corresponding binary packages to see what source-packages to
get.  Some packages do not have any 'Source' field, in which case the
binary Package name ought to be used.

i.e. multistrap line 527:

                my $src=`LC_ALL=C dpkg -f ./${cachedir}archives/$deb Source`;

should fall back to using $deb if $src is not set.

cheers,

David
