Hm. can you paste sources.list in question? I wonder if it is
something silly like release pocket disabled, yet security deb-src
enabled. And hence one "gets" the security update source package. Or
some such.

Or simply the downloaded lists are purged, after update, when the
image is prepared.

Also, I do not doubt that you know how to fetch ubuntu sources =)
