Just run "apt-get source xfree86" in the directory where you've
downloaded the existing files. apt-get will not download them again if
it does not need to,
I just ran "apt-get source xfree86" and it deleted
xfree86_4.3.0.dfsg.1.orig.tar.gz and started downloading it again.
All 59 megabytes of it. Over a slow connection in my case.
Good thing I suspected you didn't know what you're talking about and
made a backup.

When I started building (before), I got messages about extracting the
source.
Which build commands re-extract the source files from the source
archive before building and which build from the possibly modified
source (without re-extracting)? Where's the documentation?
