Ignoring all your insults to the apt maintainer, I'll just tell you
what you need to do:

  - edit /etc/apt/sources.list

I use stable/woody.  These are what I have in /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian/ woody main contrib non-free
deb http://non-us.debian.org/ woody/non-US main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/ woody/updates main contrib non-free

  - apt-get update

That downloads Packages.*

  - apt-get upgrade

That downloads and installs the software/updates that apt determines
you need.
