Those folks are running unstable/testing.  If you don't know how to
get that in your sources.list, it's probably not for you.

For a purist setup:

  deb http://security.debian.org stable/updates main
  deb http://<your debian mirror here>/debian stable main
  deb http://<your debian-non-US mirror here>/debian-non-US stable non-US/main
  #deb http://<your debian mirror here>/debian testing main
  #deb http://<your debian-non-US mirror here>/debian-non-US testing non-US/main
  #deb http://<your debian mirror here>/debian unstable main
  #deb http://<your debian-non-US mirror here>/debian-non-US unstable non-US/main

Where I've commented out testing and unstable so you don't shoot
yourself in the foot unless you uncomment them.  Feel free to add
contrib, non-free, non-US/contrib and/or non-US/non-free as you see
fit.

See above, first line of sources.list, covers non-US/main too.
