It is written with a capital The on the Debian page but it's not part of
the acronym and the Wiki page for it omits the `The` as well. If you
want to keep the `The` I would remove the lower case `the` and put the
whole `The Debian...` in some sort of highlighted format as otherwise
the capital `The` is a bit confusing.

Maybe a small sentence like: "To enable the non-free repository add the
following lines to the sources.list file:"?
