Description-en: manage Debian source packages
apt-src is a command line interface for downloading, installing, upgrading,
and tracking Debian source packages. It makes source package management

a testbed to work on adding source dependencies to Debian.

It can be run as a normal user, or as root. If you want a convenient way to
track updates to packages while preserving your local modifications, this is
