maybe this needs to be mentioned in a README ...
apt-get source gcc-3.2
dpkg-source -x <downloaded .dsc file>
cd <unpacked directory>
debian/rules unpack (or debian/rules patch)
The last step unpacks the upstream source tarball and/or applies the
Debian specific patches (currently none for the libstdc++ sources).
For the first step you need a deb-src line in /etc/apt/sources.list
