Ubuntu – How to get source with apt-get source in Ubuntu

aptitudeUbuntuubuntu-8.04

I need to install pure-ftpd from source and need to do apt-get source pure-ftpd but I get this message:
E: You must put some 'source' URIs in your sources.list

I found some documentation about this for Debian on http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-basico.en.html#s-sources.list but what URIs should I add to sources.list for Ubuntu and if I want the source for pur-ftpd?

EDIT: I found some URIs on Sources.List For Ubuntu Hardy Heron (8.04)
So I added these lines to my /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy main restricted universe
deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy-updates main restricted
universe

The source lines look exactly the same as the normal package lines, they just say deb-src instead of deb.

so just copy the ones you have now and change them to be deb-src.

Update - You may also need to apt-get update after adding the deb-src lines.
