On ubuntu if you do
cat /etc/apt/sources.list
this is where apt looks to find out where to download stuff,  I think
its the same for debian given that ubuntu is derived from debian (or
something like that).

I am sure you can do this using the gui,  however I find the command
line far quicker for this sort of thing anyway.
