   Raspbian doesn't copy packages from Debian, it just uses the Debian   
   repos. The Raspberry Pi's own repo doesn't contain userspace packages   
   unless they're pi-specific.   
      
   The issue is probably that /etc/apt/sources.list only has a line for   
   "deb" packages and not "deb-src" packages, by default.   
      
   Such a line is easy to add.   
      
   (If the OP were using Trixie it would be a matter of adding "deb-src"   
   after "deb" on the line starting "Types:" in   
   /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.sources).
