I added it now to sources.list, and did 'sudo aptitude update'.

I'm running mixture of Debian testing and SID because my goal is to have
installed the newest packages.

My sources list is now:

deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ sid main contrib non-free
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ sid main contrib non-free

deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ testing main contrib non-free
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ testing main contrib non-free

deb http://security.debian.org/ testing/updates main

#deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ experimental main contrib
 non-free
#deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ experimental main contrib non-free

deb http://www.deb-multimedia.org sid main
# deb http://www.deb-multimedia.org testing main

# Bitlbee
deb http://code.bitlbee.org/debian/devel/testing/amd64/ ./

# GNUstep
deb http://coyote.octets.fr/pub/gnustep/packages/wheezy/amd64/ ./
