Only after using -ss do I get the behavior I'm after.
It used to work out of the box because the old source.list had the commented
out deb-src line, but we don't have those anymore in the brave new world of
deb822, so we probably reconsider this requirement altogether.
I actually think it was surprising behavior beforehand but I didn't care much
since the default case was covered.
