[Bug 1802718] Re: Allow people to do sudo apt-get build-dep without any further configuration

[Tambellini]

Just confirming the annoyance/source of bugs/misunderstanding of doing such:
sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list~
sudo sed -Ei 's/^# deb-src /deb-src /' /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo apt-get update

Title:
  Allow people to do sudo apt-get build-dep without any further
  configuration

Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Or provide a reliable CLI method, a direct sed on
  /etc/atp/sources.list does not feel clean.

  Motivation: https://askubuntu.com/questions/496549/error-you-must-put-
  some-source-uris-in-your-sources-list

  This is specially important for Docker, but also a big annoyance on
  desktop, as there is no clean CLI way of enabling it.

  Why not just enable by default and save people the trouble?
