Sounds interesting to me, a helper to download a source package included
in the package system. A convenience feature. Maybe to strip down this
report to a feature request to add just that? I can imagine it could
trigger an itch with somebody.
Otherwise I guess the help from the list-packages for now is the link to
the package homepage.
