Install the debian-reference package.  Although it does not directly 
answer your rar question, section 2 does explain how the packegeing 
system works, with examples.

It is the Bible of the Debian system and is a 'must' read for anyone new 
to Debian.


I googled and found such an entry for lenny:
   deb ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ lenny non-free
   deb http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates non-free
   deb http://volatile.debian.org/debian-volatile lenny/volatile non-free

Is it as simple as just inserting wheezy for lenny?

And if I didn't find that google hit.  Is there some way to figure
that out from the search at:
