use fcopy in a hook replacing the prepareapt task; I am using the following
file as $FAI/hooks/prepareapt.DEFAULT:
 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 
#!/bin/bash
# $Id: prepareapt.DEFAULT,v 1.1 2005/05/03 14:16:51 glaweh Exp $
# 
# HG: use fcopy for apt preparation
fcopy -i etc/{hosts,hostname,resolv.conf}
fcopy -ri etc/apt
fcopy -ri etc/dpkg
skiptask prepareapt
 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 

then you have to put your class-dependent sources.lists into
$FAI/files/etc/apt/sources.list/$CLASSNAME

(and if you want to use my hook verbatim, also the remaining files I fcopy
there).
