I had this problem too... the reason is that fetch-program looks at the first 26 lines of an entry in the Debian source package list. Some packages now have entries larger than that (for example ncurses has a huge list of binary packages that it generates), with the result that the Directory: entry (ie where the source package can actually be found on the server) was being missed. I don't know the basis for '26', but I've adjusted it to randomly-selected '56' which allows me to build ncurses. I think the number is immaterial as long as it's large enough, since the code also trims off anything after the end of the entry. I've commited r5480 to SVN. Please let me know if this breaks anything else!
