Looks to me like your /etc/apt/sources.list is wrong; there's a stray
debian/ after dists/ there, and no main/contrib/non-free component.

Having said that, though, you really don't want to have Debian testing
in sources.list at all when you're running Ubuntu. What packages are you
trying to install from there? I'm assuming it's not the J2RE itself,
since that's not in Debian either ...

Cheers,
