learn by example is one:

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

if you have an X based email reader, that makes clickable links and then runs a
web browser, click the above links that are part of the /etc/apt/sources.list
file and have a look-see how it's organized, then do the same.

I'm not a developer either, so now you owe me! once you learn how to make debs,
you have to teach me!
