The instructions on the wiki page make this more clear:
Edit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pgdg.list. The distributions are called
codename-pgdg. In the example, replace squeeze with the actual
distribution you are using:
deb http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt/ squeeze-pgdg main
and "squeeze" is in italics there. I'll look into merging the texts to
a common version.

"Write this to disk as root" is suprisingly hard in shell. Your
example misses quoting, the best variant I know is
sudo tee -a /etc/apt/preferences.d/pgdg.pref <<END
which isn't very nice to look at either (and prints back stuff on
stdout).
I'm starting to think that the best version would be to have people
wget a shell script and execute that, but that's 100% evil from a
security perspective. (We will include such a script in the
postgresql-common package so if you have a recent enough install from
your vendor, you can use that, but this will not make it into
Debian/Ubuntu until the second-next releases.)

I don't get this, Do you mean the pgdg-keyring package?
