If you add non-Ubuntu sources, it would probably be a good idea to set
up /etc/apt/preferences to give a higher priority to the Ubuntu archives
(just in case).  This is particularly true with Debian sources, since 
there will be a large number of duplications.  Most of them won't 
matter, but you never know....
