How would you tackle the tremendous task of explicitly disallowing access _everyone_ in the world who has no business with your servers? Pipe the debian lists traffic through a filter and compile a list of all servers used to get a grip on what you are planning. Note that the list is not static. Paul Johnson has already given an alternative. If you follow through with your initiative, you'll possibly fall into a black hole fast enough to make you hold on to your pants.
