I uploaded this into unstable now, as the Depends: postgresql-8.4
seems to be a major reason for the inability to get into testing.
However, the excuses [1] seem to indicate that the NBS binaries need
to be removed as well.

Debdiff attached FTR.

Thanks!

postgresql-8.4 (8.4.12-3) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Urgency medium; the current version in testing (with the full server)
    is unsupportable in a stable release.
  * debian/control: Drop dependency to postgresql-8.4. While it is technically
    correct (it needs Squeeze's postgresql-8.4 package) it makes britney
    refuse to get this into testing, as the package is uninstallable in
    Wheezy.
