I used to be able to do this with the old profile. Since Facebook upgraded me to the new profile I cannot select friend lists in the privacy settings or even below single posts anymore although the lists all still exist and older posts/settings have not been affected…
For now I can only type in single names of people I want to be able to see a certain post/link/photo or make it visible to everyone, which is extremely bothering…
Maybe it is a bug, I wrote to Facebook help about this a few days ago but have yet to get a response…

The settings are still there when you post.
In the case below I have a list called Locked and I allow everyone except those in that list.
You can always edit this by clicking on it.
From there the same way that you will reference a friend, is the same way you would reference a list. Just type the list name. Below I used it in the hide list, but you could do the same with "Make this visible to" , just select "Specific People"
So you could say the "These people" could have been a bit more descriptive and said "These people and lists"
For older posts there is a little lock icon that shows the privacy settings for that particular item.
