       1) I need to create list for both testing/Unstable.
        Can I use this with -d option.

Why don't you experiment? It will not kill you. And you certainly can
educate yourselves.
	 
        2) Apt-spy creates  list with one or  two sites.Sometimes most
	 packages won't be found  on that site,due to various reason's
	 (don't flame,often I kindly let the mirror site about this).

There is some misunderstanding  here.  apt-spy looks only for official
Debian mirrors.  If you need unofficial packages,  like backports, you
need to manually edit sources.list
