Based on what I saw that http://live.debian.net/debian , they are not using
the pooled layout with distribution subdirectories. Instead, they are
using the flat layout. So, the line should be:
deb http://live.debian.net /debian/
or
deb http://live.debian.net/debian /
(I think.) The relevant section of sources.list(5) is:
The format for a sources.list entry using the deb and deb-src types
are:
deb uri distribution [component1] [component2] [...]
The URI for the deb type must specify the base of the Debian
distribution, from which APT will find the information it needs.
distribution can specify an exact path, in which case the components
must be omitted and distribution must end with a slash (/). This is
useful for when only a particular sub-section of the archive denoted
by
the URI is of interest. If distribution does not specify an exact
path,
at least one component must be present.
