I looked in the APT tutorial and also in a book but I could not find an
answer to this problem.

I want to get a source package from the "testing" release, not from
"stable", so I did this:

apt-get -t testing source <packagename>

It does not seem to work. Is there a way to do this without temporarily
modifying the sources.list in order to get the desired sources?

Try apt-get source packagename=1.2.3-4 use whatever the version number is for
testing.
