the repos not only have binaries, they also have source. that's why you'll see 'deb-src' in /etc/apt/sources.list

you can use apt-get to pull the source for the packages you want. There is no single source package for ubuntu, only individual packages of source for the applications which make it up

Can you help with this problem?
