This list is for discussion of documentation.  Please post support requests to 
the ubuntu-users list.  To (sort of) answer your question, Ubuntu packages do 
not generally come with the source files (though -dev packages come have 
header files).  To get the source, apt-get source packagename, where 
packagename in this case may be util-linux.
