I am attaching the /etc/apt/sources.list which I use (Debian Sarge being
used there).
After copying it to your /etc/apt, activate aptitude (if you didn't
already install it, then you'll have to use Yedidyah's advice to install
it).
When you are in aptitude, hit 'u', search for and select the packages
which you want, hit 'U', hit 'g' and again 'g'.
