I would, personally, but a new catalog can be hazardous because in theory it isn't controlled by the Maemo gang. You have to decide who you are willing to trust.

what they meen is that they don't take any resposability for the software provided by this catalog, and the software can be harmful. if you affraid you shouldn't install any of them. as well as u can check the code if it's opensource.
P.S. you can install only that app, just go to the repo from browser and download the deb and open it with HAM

Isn't it kinda "uneffective" (read. nonsense) to install the .deb file manually, instead of adding a repo? odds of malware is same, if it's a malware repo -which does not exist for N900 yet afaik- that particular debian package would be malware too, and you are installing it.

It is important to note that also official repositories "may include malware that access data stored in the device, cause financial damage or harm the device."
