Howabout a different approach? A global "src" button at the top of the
package selection list. When selected source packages appear on separate
lines. This is in line with the common unix packaging systems and would
also allow explicit src package version choices. (Ie I might want the
experimental squid version source, but no binary to be installed.)

The src packages _could_ also be put into category Source automatically.
