I think the key word there is for every package that *doesn't* need 
update.  Since the package itself does not need updating then I think I 
have by default (and it's probably not selectable) the source download 
set to N/A - this also appear to be the way the current version 
downloadable from the web works as well.  

What does it do if the package does need updating? - I think it gives you 
the Source download option then.  I think the overriding factor here - 
even on the current version from the web is whether the packaged binaries 
need updating and my thought process was that if you were getting the 
source you would probably do it at download/install time and not after 
the package was already updated - might be a bad conclusion.  We might 
want to revisit this - what do you and others think?
