This is the opposite issue here : we miss recent postgresql in debian stable
once the debian is more than one year old (or less, we will see that with 8.4 in
few monthes) . So people have to use the backport/sid package or build with
deb-src ... etc...

We can juste use the proposed-update to push 8.4 to lenny, so people will have
*time* to upgrade postgresql before debian, isnt it ?
