So here are the ways to get the source.

The git repository:
$ git clone git://git.gnome.org/gnome-control-center

The Jaunty source:
$ apt-get source gnome-control-center

The Ubuntu trunk:
$ bzr get
http://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-desktop/gnome-control-center/ubuntu

Those who know better - please correct me.
