Finally took the time to finalise this patch, following your
comments. Please find a debdiff attached. The prefix project already
uses this patch, in git.

  http://github.com/dimitri/prefix/tree/master/debian/

The debian/rules interesting part is now

include /usr/share/postgresql-common/pgxs_debian_control.mk

build: debian/control

install: build
        ...
	# build all supported version
	pg_buildext build $(SRCDIR) $(TARGET) "$(CFLAGS)"

	# then install each of them
	for v in `pg_buildext supported-versions $(SRCDIR)`; do \
		dh_install -ppostgresql-$$v-prefix ;\
	done

As a packager you still have to provide the per package .{install,dirs}
files, but you don't have to edit debian/rules to add support for a new
PostgreSQL major version, and more importantly, you don't have to edit
it when a major version is obsoleted by debian.

Regards,
