Assuming you're running stable,

deb http://http.debian.net/debian/ stable main
deb http://http.debian.net/debian/ stable-updates main
deb http://http.debian.net/debian/ stable-proposed-updates main
deb http://http.debian.net/debian/ stable-backports main
deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main

is the complete setup. For testing, just remove backports and replace
'stable' with 'testing'.
