bzr get-orig-source

I added a command to builddeb, bzr get-orig-source.  This helps with my workflow where I build the package within the checked out sources.

e.g. traditional packaging workflow:

apt-get source kdetoys
cd kdetoys-1.0
<edit packaging>
debuild
<oops, that broke it, fix my breakage>
debuild -nc
<oh good that fixed it>
debuild -S
cd ..
dput ubuntu *changes

UDD workflow:

bzr branch kdetoys
bzr get-orig-source
<edit packaging>
debuild
<oops, that broke it, fix my breakage>
debuild -nc
<oh good that fixed it>
debuild -S
bzr commit
<dput or one day soon build from branch>

Others prefer to use  bzr builddeb [-- -nc]  but I find all the changing directories that requires is more hassle than gain.
