If there is both a source and binary named <package> or requests source
for a binary package, one should get the right version:

+---
| $ apt-get -t testing source grub2
| [...]
| Need to get 5079 kB of source archives.
| Get:1 http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ testing/main grub2 1.99-27+deb7u1 
(dsc) [3729 B]
| [...]
+---

Otherwise I think one gets the highest version of the source package.
