Not quite true.

deb http://ftp.debian-unofficial.org/debian/ etch main contrib non-free 
restricted

That's a very useful, and needed, repo, that is not an official part of 
Debian.  If you use any 3Ware devices, you need that repo.  There's a 
bunch of other, binary-only, doesn't follow the social contract, software 
in there that is very useful on a server.

And for those following the current stable release, the backports repos 
(also unofficial) are needed.
