It sounds nice but when I try I get :

Source: deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ unstable main non-free
contrib

  o Suite: unstable/sid
  o Date: Tue, 09 Jul 2002 19:31:46 UTC
  o Description: Debian Unstable - Not Released

  * NO VALID SIGNATURE
  * PROBLEMS WITH main (NOCHECK, NOCHECK)
  * PROBLEMS WITH non-free (NOCHECK, NOCHECK)
  * PROBLEMS WITH contrib (NOCHECK, NOCHECK)
