Exact error message:
W: Couldn't stat source package list 'http://non-us.debian.org
stable/non-US Packages"
(/var/state/apt/lists/non-us.debian.org_debian-non-US_dists_stable_non-US_binary-i386_Packages)
- stat (2 No such file or directory)
W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these missing files

So I ran apt-get update.
It hit main Packages, main Release, contrib Packages, contrib Release,
non-free Packages, and non-free Release.  non-US Packages got a "404 Not
Found" and non-US Release had Ign (I'm assuming ignore).

I don't think that this poses a serious problem as the system seems to
be working (haven't tried X yet), but any pointers toward getting rid of
the error or the statement "it's nothing to worry about" would be
appreciated.  I'm currently looking around the debian.org website, but
am still figuring out the layout, so it's slow.
