The web page says

deb http://security.debian.org/ potato/updates main contrib non-free

And it works.

No, this is wrong, just because the non-US archive happens to be on the same
site as the security updates, it shouldn't be referenced that way.

Something like this should be used:

deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US potato/non-US main non-free

www.d.o have been checked and double-checked, you can be sure of that. :)
