If you just want the source for xapian, it's the first link on 
http://xapian.org/download.php

If you're wanting the source for the Debian package, you need to use the 
"apt-get source" command: probably "apt-get source libxapian15" 
(libxapian15 is the most recent Xapian library package).  This is a 
basic Debian usage question, rather than a Xapian question, though - 
this mailing list isn't an appropriate place to ask for help with using apt.
