1) dpkg: support dpkg -i foo.dsc, which unpacks the source to
/usr/src/ or something

2) apt: parse Sources.gz and add them to architecture src,
   "apt-get install binutils:src" downloads the dsc, orig.tar,
   debian.tar, ... and then passes the dsc file to dpkg for installing

2b) fix other tools like pbuilder-satify-depends, sbuild, ...

3) Sources can use Build-Depends: binutils:src using the multiarch
   syntax to qualify archs
