It means you need deb-src lines in your /etc/apt/sources.list that
corresond to the deb lines. Same line as the deb line, just copy it
and replace deb with deb-src. Apt needs these lines in order to know
what the build dependencies are. Don't forget to run apt-get update
after you modify sources.list.
