This line in sources.list is sufficient:

deb http://people.debian.org/~asuffield/arch/ ./

However, the versions in this archive don't contain version numbers that 
are intrepreted as being more recent than the version in the main debian 
distribution. You can use:

apt-cache show --all-versions tla

to show all versions that your sources.list sources include, and select 
the latest version from that set.
Today, the command:

apt-get install tla=1:20030908-1

does that for me.
