+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B unpack-debian-sources
+finds all Debian source packages in an apt repository, downloads them,
+and unpacks them.

+argument is an http url to the mirror.
+For example,
+.IR http://www.debian.org/debian .
+.PP
+The
+.I release
+argument specifies the release to download,
+such as
+.IR etch ,
+or
+.IR intrepid .
+.PP
+The optional
+.I component
+arguments specify the components within a release,
+such as
+.IR main ,
+or

+is used.
+.PP
+The result of

+is a directory tree mimicking the apt archive.
+If a source package is in the apt archive at
