Well, I tried upgrading from lenny.  The squeeze package as unable to
upgrade the 8.1 cluster because it used -t to psql, so I tried to
upgrade to an ever newer one.  It still wasn't able to upgrade my
cluster because of locale stuff, so I dumped the databases and wanted to
purge postgresql-8.1.

That failed miserably too, as the common packages were removed before
postgresql-8.1, whose postrm tried to run stuff from the common package.
re-installed the common package and then that was the only issue left.

Cheers,
