I uploaded postgresql-8.4_8.4.13-1.dsc to unstable now, to unbreak the
upgrade from Wheezy. There is no effective diff in the code, only a
new changelog entry in debian/, and one new Russian gettext
translation .mo file for PL/Perl. But I can file a proper unblock bug
with a debdiff in a few days if necessary, when everything is built
and there are no unexpected bugs. I locally ran the p-common tests
with the new package, and all is well.

Thanks,

Martin
