This is more like a follow-up; with the current package repository of ros.org (Sep 2014), you can obtain the source of the released packages by simply apt-get source. No deb-src needed. I documented it here.

Edit with full instructions:

You just need to explicitly specify deb-src entry in the apt sources:

For example update /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ros_latest.list as follows:

  deb http://packages.ros.org/ros/ubuntu precise main
+ deb-src http://packages.ros.org/ros/ubuntu precise main

This assumes precise substitute your applicable ubuntu distro.

$ apt-get source ros-hydro-laser-pipeline

This downloads from the server all the files in the released version of the package (i.e. things not installed in the installation rule (e.g. CMakeLists.txt) are also included).
