I am attaching a message which explains better

I think you'll also need non-US/main, etc., judging from the directory
organization on ftp.uk.debian.org.

My /etc/apt/sources.list reads, in part (apologies for the lack of
line-wrapping):

deb ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian woody main contrib non-free
deb ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/non-US woody non-US/main non-US/contrib
non-US/non-free

This works fine, as do the corresponding deb-src lines.
