They might in fact be useful for developers and normal users, even if we have other things like pull-lp-source. It should always be easy for users to get the source code for the software they are running, and I think apt-get source already gives us that. Flipping the switch on whether or not deb-src lines would be enabled by default on install could be as simple as a preseed entry that we add to the usual preseed file on images. It would also be useful to have a tool like apt-add-repository that can toggle the state of the source entries. software-properties-gtk can already do it.
