Bug Description
On Ubuntu 18.04, with `apt-get source <packagename>` being the de facto way of getting (src-deb) sources for a binary package, it is not so with the linux kernel.
`apt-get source linux-image-$(uname -r)` -- leads to "linux-signed" which is not the kernel src deb
`apt-get source linux-image-
`apt-get source linux` -- obtains the correct src deb but that's not transparent or obvious to new users and a deviation from the usual standard of using `apt-get source`.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
Based on the IRC discussion, I think there's consensus amongst Ubuntu developers that we can do something (even if documentation) to make it easier to find the right sources, so this bug is valid.
