As others have said, apt-get will install PostgreSQL from the standard
Debian repositories.  However, if you're running Debian stable, you
might want to use a more recent version of PostgreSQL than the 7.2.1.

Backports.org has 7.4.7 here:

http://www.backports.org/debian/dists/stable/postgresql/binary-i386/

So you'd need to put something like this in your /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://www.backports.org/debian/ stable postgresql

Cheers
