Add the following line to /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://non-us.debian.org /potato/non-US main contrib non-free

On the other hand, I do not feel as strongly as other posters that telnet
needs to be disabled in order to have a secure machine.  Strong passwords
will work just as well.  I have an account on a large Solaris network
where telnet has been open for ages, and will continue to be.  The passwd
program in *incredibly* anal about ensuring that all passwords are
complex.  To my knowledge there has never been a significant security
breach on this network.
