Indeed this structure is clean and makes sense, and AFAICS it does not
require any particular provisions for the Sarge package.

However, I would prefer to let versions 7.2 and 7.3 die. It is
questionable whether they are supported upstream for the probably long
time that Etch will be developed and supported, and this new
architecture is nothing for Sarge anyway. For Etch we can assume that
we upgrade from Sarge, and so we should continue to support 7.4 (and
provide a seamless upgrade to it), and only add version 8.0.

This will also get us rid of many obsolete dependencies (libpq2,
kerberos-heimdal and so on).
