Very nice article about, for me, a new tool. Thanks.

To add a repository to apt, I usally find it easy to just make a new file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d instead of changing /etc/apt/sources.list

Just have a file name ending with '.list', and aptitude will use it like it was added to /etc/apt/sources.list

So I would do:

cat <<EOF >/etc/apt/sources.list.d/etch-backports.list
# Debian backports packages
# See: http://www.backports.org/
# Please use a mirror
deb http://www.backports.org/debian etch-backports main contrib non-free
# eof
EOF


Then it is easy to just remove that file if it is something wrong. And you can comment it to get a history when/why you added it.
