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).
