This line should do:
deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian sid main

What that says is to get the sources for a package when you use
"apt-get source" from that URL. The dependencies needed to compile
Splashy will (hopefully) come from wherever you get your binaries.

apt-get source -b splashy is the same as:

apt-get source splashy
cd splashy[press TAB]
debuild -us -uc

Assuming that you have debuild already installed (apt-get install devscripts)

Use "man apt-get" for more.
