AFAIK, there are currently no .list files available for potato images. On a
Linux box, you can create them yourself, see the procedure on
  http://cdimage.debian.org/potato_pre.html

But I think you'd better wait one to two weeks for the official potato test
images, that will have pre-made .list files.
