Raspbian doesn`t copy packages from Debian, it just uses the Debian
repos. The Raspberry Pi`s own repo doesn`t contain userspace packages
unless they`re pi-specific.
The issue is probably that /etc/apt/sources.list only has a line for
"deb" packages and not "deb-src" packages, by default.
Such a line is easy to add.
(If the OP were using Trixie it would be a matter of adding "deb-src"
after "deb" on the line starting "Types:" in
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.sources).
