I`d just build from the latest source code manually like you did on
Mageia, but whatever floats your boat...

As a guess: maybe the Raspbian package repo doesn`t have sources
for packages they copied from Debian instead of rebuilding
themselves? You could look at the Debian package info/downloads
on the web like LDO suggested. I`m not sure how building from
sources automatically via Apt works, so I`m not sure how you`d use
the Debian package repo with that.
