It indeed does; with

# ls -l
total 8
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root    1 Oct 26 16:03 : -> ./
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 4096 Oct 25 13:35 base/
-rw-r--r--  1 root root  498 Oct 25 13:35 index.html
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root    7 Oct 26 14:44 RPMS.djbware -> ../RPMS/
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root    8 Oct 26 14:44 SRPMS.djbware -> ../SRPMS/

I get

# apt-get source qmail
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Need to get 343kB of source archives.
Get:1 http://djbware.csi.hu apt/djbware qmail 1.03-111patch_14_15 (srpm) [343kB]
Fetched 343kB in 0s (6407kB/s)
   1:qmail                  ########################################### [100%]

Am I supposed to do this in every directory for httpd?  Can you
explain what is going on?

Thx,

Mate
