I believe this is by design, i.e. setup can only give you source for the
Curr version and not Prev.  However, the -src tarball you seek should be
in the directory on the mirror though so it's a simple matter of just
downloading it and untarring it in a directory of your choice, which is
all setup would be doing anyway (well, it would be untarring into
/usr/src)
