I think this is the problem and shortcoming. If I generate
a *_source.changes file for a -2 package, the orig tarball will not
be included, nor will the .dsc file reference it — *because* it is
assumed to be publicly available.
sbuild can install build-dependencies, so it already interacts with
an APT mirror. Wouldn't it make sense and be possible for it to also
install missing source package components, or at least to try?
