I don't use lines which target buster by that name; instead, I use lines
which target stable and testing explicitly, so that they shift whenever
a new release is made. As a result, just sharing the lines from my own
sources.list won't give you what you probably want.

That said, the relevant pair of lines with that substitution made would
probably be:

deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ buster main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ buster main contrib non-free

and you can of course drop contrib and/or non-free as you see fit.
