pull-lp-source and pull-debian-source are about as easy as it can be
IMHO, and offer a lot more functionality (downloading from different
pockets, releases, and Debian). We don't install those by default,
though, they are in ubuntu-dev-tools.
But these are obvious candiates for replacing "apt-get source" in the
absence of deb-src apt sources.
