I attached my first simple shot on the problem.  You can feed it a
packages.gz and it will try to retrieve the deb sources...

It works well for my own main module but ...

... but this seems to be a bit of a mess.  I extracted the packages.qz
From=20the MorphixBase-0.5-pre5.iso and have some trouble to get all the
matching sources, it seems some of the used debian packages are fairly
old -- apt for example is version 0.5.28.1, which is from 2005/01/16=20=09
according to http://snapshot.debian.net/package/apt#0.5.28.1, and no
longer available even in the archive.

So two questions:
1. Why are there so incredible old packages on the latest base iso?
   (it's not only apt, there are half a dozen more...)
2. Can you provide me with the corresponding source packages, as they
   are not in the debian archive any more?
