This contains 2 types of entries: deb and deb-src. The former points to binary packages, the latter to source packages. You need to add 'deb-src' entries to get source packages which are used to build binary deb packages.

You have registerd binary packages cds. You can get the MATCHING source packages cd or add entries to the sarge repo for both deb and deb-src BUT this will mean you will need to update your sarge to the latest point release (apt-get update).
