You could open the file in an editor and remove the hash mark. I'm not familiar with apt, but if it's similar to yum, it'll have an option to enable a specific repository. With yum, I'd just use enablerepo=backtrackrepo.etc.
I'd suggest you read man apt.

HISTORY
The GNU shtool subst command was originally written by Ralf S. Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com> in 2001 for GNU shtool. It was prompted
by the need to have a uniform and convenient patching frontend to sed(1) operations in the OpenPKG package specifications.

shtool(1), sed(1).
