    The security pointers are useless until sarge becomes 'stable'. Once
    sarge becomes stable, they will provide security updates.

    These will give you sid (unstable) not sarge (testing). To upgrade to
    sarge, you want something like this:

    deb http://security.debian.org/ sarge/updates main
    deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian sarge main contrib non-free
    deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US sarge/non-US main contrib non-free
