+ non-us:

$ grep '^Package: ' /var/state/apt/lists/www.uk.debian.org_debian_dists_unstable
_{contrib,main,non-free}_binary-i386_Packages /var/state/apt/lists/www.uk.debian
.org_debian_non-us_unstable_binary-i386_Packages| wc -l
   3049
$

or if you want to be ultra-orthodox non-free, non-us, and contrib are not part
of debian:

$ grep '^Package: ' /var/state/apt/lists/www.uk.debian.org_debian_dists_unstable
_main_binary-i386_Packages| wc -l
   2582
$
