In short, the dsc files can be found in:
https://code.ros.org/svn/release/download/stacks

Unfortunately, they don't entirely conform to how a proper source-deb
pipeline should work, though our architecture is documented at:
http://www.ros.org/wiki/release/Architecture

Basically, when you do a release, a tar.bz2 and our own
meta-information yaml file is generated and uploaded to the release
repository:

https://code.ros.org/svn/release/download/stacks

the pipeline we have written will next take this tar.bz2 source
archive, and the associated yaml file and use that to generate per-OS
.dsc files based on which platforms the particular ROS release
suports. These are uploaded into the release repository as well.

Unfortunately, due to a combination of lazyness and backwards
compatibility, the dsc files we generate don't entirely conform to how
a true .dsc file should behave. The dsc assumes that the ROS-source
tar.bz2 is located next to it in the filesystem and takes care of
checking its md5sum and unpacking it itself. At some point I would
like to change this so that the dsc properly references a tar.gz, but
it hasn't been a high priority.

Depending on how motivated you are to go down this path, it would
probably be possible to modify the "create_source_deb.py" script to
instead produce a .dsc that would be appropraite for debian squeeze.
