[jaunty] apt-get source linux-image`-uname -r` does not download sources

[Khashayar Naderehvandi]

During my intrepid days, the following command would download the linux sources along with everything needed to rebuild a kernel package locally:

apt-get source linux-image-`uname -r`

That's precisely the behavior I would expect.

In jaunty, however, the same command only gets me the linux-meta stuff. Which makes this a regression, I guess.

Here is a patch that should fix the issue:
