Hello Corsac,

The first way to do it that comes to my mind is something like this:

for pkg in $(grep-available -F Depends -s Package 'xfce4'| \
	awk '{ print $2 }'); do \
	apt-get source $pkg && pbuilder build --buildresult /tmp $pkg*dsc;
done

The --buildresult option is necessary to store the results somewhere.

Obiouvsly. 
Thanks Corsac!
