<refsect1><title>The deb and deb-src types</title>
<para>The <literal>deb</literal> type describes a typical two-level Debian
archive, <filename>distribution/component</filename>. Typically,
- <literal>distribution</literal> is generally one of
- <literal>stable</literal> <literal>unstable</literal> or
- <literal>testing</literal> while component is one of <literal>main</literal>
- <literal>contrib</literal> <literal>non-free</literal> or
- <literal>non-us</literal>. The
+ <literal>distribution</literal> is generally an archivename like
+ <literal>stable</literal> or <literal>testing</literal> or a codename like
+ <literal>&stable-codename;</literal> or <literal>&testing-codename;</literal>
+ while component is one of <literal>main</literal> <literal>contrib</literal> or
+ <literal>non-free</literal>. The
<literal>deb-src</literal> type describes a debian distribution's source
code in the same form as the <literal>deb</literal> type.
A <literal>deb-src</literal> line is required to fetch source indexes.</para>

<literallayout>deb http://archive.debian.org/debian-archive hamm main</literallayout>
<para>Uses FTP to access the archive at ftp.debian.org, under the debian
- directory, and uses only the stable/contrib area.</para>
- <literallayout>deb ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian stable contrib</literallayout>
+ directory, and uses only the &stable-codename;/contrib area.</para>
+ <literallayout>deb ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian &stable-codename; contrib</literallayout>
<para>Uses FTP to access the archive at ftp.debian.org, under the debian
directory, and uses only the unstable/contrib area. If this line appears as
a single FTP session will be used for both resource lines.</para>
<literallayout>deb ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian unstable contrib</literallayout>
- <para>Uses HTTP to access the archive at nonus.debian.org, under the
- debian-non-US directory.</para>
- <literallayout>deb http://nonus.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main contrib non-free</literallayout>
-
- <para>Uses HTTP to access the archive at nonus.debian.org, under the
- debian-non-US directory, and uses only files found under
- <filename>unstable/binary-i386</filename> on i386 machines,
- <filename>unstable/binary-m68k</filename> on m68k, and so
- forth for other supported architectures. [Note this example only
- illustrates how to use the substitution variable; non-us is no longer
- structured like this]
- <literallayout>deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian-non-US unstable/binary-$(ARCH)/</literallayout>
+ <para>Uses HTTP to access the archive at ftp.tlh.debian.org, under the
+ universe directory, and uses only files found under
+ <filename>unstable/binary-i386</filename> on i386 machines,
+ <filename>unstable/binary-amd64</filename> on amd64, and so
