And in case you are less purist:

deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian wheezy main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian wheezy main contrib non-free

deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ wheezy-updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ wheezy-updates main contrib non-free

deb http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main contrib non-free

deb http://ftp.at.debian.org/debian wheezy-backports main contrib non-free

deb http://mozilla.debian.net/ wheezy-backports iceweasel-release

Though in both cases Brian's choice of mirror was better.
