So all the sources for our packages should be available with this line
in /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb-src https://maedevu.maemo.org/leste beowulf main contrib non-free

But indeed, looks like the source packages is not available:

# apt source libhildonmime
Reading package lists... Done
E: Unable to find a source package for libhildonmime

Source is also on github [1]

It looks like there is a "Source:" section in debian/control though. Weird.

I just asked Parazyd and he said that during some repo mangling that
happened a while ago we perhaps lost some packages in deb-src.

I'll work with him and get them all rebuilt, so that we'll have the
proper entries in deb-src. One reason I am reluctant to build everything
again right now is that it might mess with the init scripts
installation. We need to fix something in OpenRC so that it doesn't get
confused by the LSB headers (either being present or missing)

Meanwhile, you might want to just git clone the repos you need from
github instead.

Cheers,
Merlijn
