Comment 4 for bug 1453330

in wily, pull-lp-source works for me, but a simple 'pull-debian-source hello' would fail.
The change in behavior from the working vivid for my specific use case is that rmadison has changed and is hitting a different server.

on wily:
$ rmadison -u debian -s sid -a source hello
hello | 2.10-1 | unstable | source

on trusty (and vivid)
$ rmadison -u debian -s sid -a source hello
 hello | 2.10-1 | sid | source

The easiest fix for me to make 'pull-debian-source hello' work again was this:

That fixes my itch at least.
