My guess would be that you answered "no" to the question which asked whether
you wanted access to packages over the Internet.  That package is not on the
CD.

If so, you would need to enable the network repositories in Synaptic.

Those packages are from Debian, and have been removed in Hoary because they
caused confusion.

But if you can see universe packages, you should certainly be able to see
linux-source-2.6.8.1.  Perhaps you should try a search.
