Here's mine:
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ sid main non-free contrib
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ testing main non-free contrib
deb http://www.deb-multimedia.org unstable main non-free
It seems to be normal for a sid installation to also have a testing
entry. The sources.list for Stable and Testing should contain only their
own repositories.
The name sid can be used, or unstable, as they will always be
synonymous. If you do include the 'testing' entry, call it exactly that,
as the name of the current Testing will change at the time of the next
release.
You may not want the multimedia repository, or either non-free or
contrib in the sid and testing entries. They are all optional for a sid
installation, only the 'deb <mirror>/debian/ sid main' repository is
essential.
You will need deb-src entries, which are otherwise the same as the deb
entries, if you expect to need source code packages. Non-free source
code may not always be available.
