Synaptic does a very nice job of managing your ubuntu sources list. You can add the universe and multiverse repositories with a few mouseclicks, and even add non-standard repositories without leaving the GUI.
-The following sources.list will
give you access to all of the officially supported packages in Ubuntu from the New Zealand mirrors.

Easyubuntu and automatix scripts have an option to update your sources.list too. Use this option with caution because it quite often screws up.
There's also [Source-O-Matic|http://www.ubuntulinux.nl/source-o-matic] which will build you a sources list using the official, and some of the better-known unofficial repositories. This has always worked very well for me, and is a quick and easy way to get back to a working config if you let easyubuntu or automatix break it :-)
