You are mixing things up!

Stable/testing/unstable (Sarge/Etch/Sid) are "distributions" (in the
Debian sense of the word, check http://packages.debian.org/), Ubuntu has
only two distributions, stable/unstable (Hoary/Breezy).

What is discussed in this thread are the sections of the repositories.
Debian has four:

 main
 contrib
 non-free
 non-US

Ubuntu also has four:

 main
 restricted
 universe
 multiverse

Software is not manufactured, it is something you write and publish.
Keep Europe free from software patents, we do not want censorship
by patent law on written works.

Teach a man to make fire, and he will be warm for a day. Set a man on fire,
and he will be warm for the rest of his life.
