You can do that doing preseeding install. http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/apbs04.html.en#preseed-mirror

B.4.7. Apt setup
 Setup of the /etc/apt/sources.list and basic configuration options is fully automated based on your installation method and answers to earlier questions. You can optionally add other (local) repositories.

# You can choose to install non-free and contrib software.
#d-i apt-setup/non-free boolean true
#d-i apt-setup/contrib boolean true
# Uncomment this if you don't want to use a network mirror.
#d-i apt-setup/use_mirror boolean false
# Uncomment this to avoid adding security sources, or
# add a hostname to use a different server than security.debian.org.
#d-i apt-setup/security_host string

^Here^

I don't know if theses parameters can be passed to the debian installer during boot "apt-setup/security_host string"

I've ust tried with qemu, it oes not work with a normal install...
