Thanks for the clarification.  There's nothing like blowing up your 
system periodically to test backup/ recovery procedures.  ;-)


So, add only the following line to /etc/apt/sources.list, modifying the

deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ sid main


It would probably be best to show an example line, especially for 
non-native English readers.
