unzip is not truly free, so it ain't part of Debian pure.
Try adding non-free to your default deb line in your /etc/apt/sources.list:
### Standard deb entry
deb file:/debian/debian potato main non-free contrib
And if you want to unzip encrypted files too using, unzip-crypt, add the
following lines too to get access to US export restricted goodies:
### Non US things
deb http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian-non-US potato/non-US main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian-non-US potato/non-US main contrib non-free
And whilst you're at it, add the folowing security/upgrades related ones:
### The Proposed Updates
deb http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian dists/potato-proposed-updates/
deb-src http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian dists/potato-proposed-updates/
### And Proposed Updates non-US
#deb http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian-non-US dists/potato-proposed-updates/
