They describe how to add the repo to your Debian install, allowing you to update to PostgreSQL 9.3+.
The JSON data type was implemented in 9.3. 9.4 (still under development,) brings some HUGE enhancements to the storage mechanism behind HSTORE and JSON, which I'd hop on the moment it is released as stable.
