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
