Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ubuntu-dev-tools

pull-debian-source tries to download a package from Debian testing by default. If a package is not available in testing, it prints:
% pull-debian-source turnin-ng
Could Not Get http://qa.debian.org/madison.php?text=on&package=turnin-ng&s=testing at /usr/bin/pull-debian-source line 84

Rather, it should print a message along the lines:
"""
The source package turnin-ng is not available in Debian testing. Run
   pull-debian-source turnin-ng unstable
if the package has not yet migrated from Debian unstable to Debian testing.
"""
