I don't feel that
|mh@torres:/usr/doc/apt/examples > cat sources.list
|# See sources.list(5) for more information
|# Remember that you can only use http, ftp or file URIs
|deb http://ftp1.us.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free
|deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US unstable non-US

is a comprehensive example for sources.list. sources.list(5) has not
nearly enough examples and descriptions what examples do.
