Actually developers like me who are already familiar with the
distribution aren't my concern; it's all the cases where documentation
says "first go and edit /etc/apt/sources.list, then apt-get source ...".
I feel that an ethically important part of free software is making it
trivial for people to get source code even if they aren't familiar with
the way the particular distribution they're using is put together.
Although I do concede your point that Software Sources makes it easier
than it used to be.

Can we defer this discussion until after zsync (or whatever) is
implemented please? I don't intend to do anything precipitous until
after that anyway.
