First, that's a really old announcement. It has nothing to do with
the woody freeze, but rather the creation of "testing" in the first
place. (there used to be only "stable" and "unstable")
Second, "point apt" doesn't mean "install package". Pointing apt
somewhere means editing /etc/apt/sources.list to contain the proper
entries. (and those instructions weren't targeted for those new to
debian)
If you want to track testing (which is also called "woody" right now),
these lines in sources.list will work :
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian woody main contrib non-free
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US woody/non-US main contrib non-free
