In order to install packages from the non-free section, just add
"non-free" at the end of your sources.list lines. Example for squeeze:

deb http://ftp2.de.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main contrib non-free

It works exactly the same for older Debian versions. After editing
sources.list, just 'apt-get update' (or 'aptitude update', whatever you
prefer) and go on installing the package you want.
