No deb-src lines in /etc/apt/sources.list.d

[Bernie Ogden]

The files contained in /etc/apt/sources.list.d in the 12.01 LEB contain no deb-src line. If I add such lines by cloning and editing the 'deb' line then apt-get source works for me - at least in the sense that it gives me source, hopefully in the sense that it is giving me the correct source.

Can deb-src lines be added to these files, or is there some reason for their absence?

This could be a trivial fix but would make a big diference for developers who want to get source for debugging purposes. This would affect multiple landing teams across Linaro who are responsible for the LEBs. Would be great to have it for 11.03.

I believe this can also be fixed at the linaro-media-create tool, as we'd like to have the deb-src line available for all the PPAs used to generate the image/rootfs.

Marking as 'high' because this can create a lot of confusion for the developers, and our images should have it enabled by default so people can easily grab the source packages used by the image/hwpacks.
