    my /etc/apt/sources.list looks like:

    deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ stable main
    deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ stable main
    deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main
    deb-src http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main

    deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main

    deb http://debian.parsed.net unstable main
    deb-src http://debian.parsed.net unstable main

    after changing /etc/apt/sources.list , run apt-get update

    this will build the source trees in /var/lib/apt/lists

    you might want to get rid of the lined in sources.list that are unstable.
