I'd like to know which official and/or unofficial US repositories to add
to either Debian Etch or Lenny to provide myself with the same non-free
software as Ubuntu 7.10 provides.

Can anyone please point me in the right direction?

I would like to have the same types of Debian Etch or Lenny repositories
added to a fresh install of Debian on another machine. Is this possible?
If it is possible I would like to know the http or ftp addresses so I
might obtain non-free software such as Opera, multimedia codecs and the
like.

What _packages_ are you looking for? Ubuntu repositories mean nothing to
me.

Opera you get from Opera, of course. Codecs and other "multimedia" stuff
can be found at <http://www.debian-multimedia.org>.
