This was mostly fixed in

postgresql-9.1 (9.1.4-2) unstable; urgency=low
[...]
  * debian/postgresql-9.1.preinst: Remove postmaster.1.gz alternative on
    upgrades to this version, so that the postinst can rebuild it. This is
    necessary to drop pg_basebackup.1.gz from the server alternatives group,
    so that it can go into the client group.

and more completely in

postgresql-9.1 (9.1.5-2) unstable; urgency=low
[...]
  * Fix upgrades from older 9.1 releases in stable Ubuntu -updates/-security
    releasese. The strict "<< 9.1.4-2~" check for moving pg_basebackup.1.gz is
    not sufficient, as Ubuntu stables have newer upstream releases by now.
    - debian/control: Move Breaks/Replaces: from static version to
      ${binary:Version}.
    - debian/postgresql-9.1.preinst: Also fix the alternatives when upgrading
      from a -0something version.
    - (LP: #1043449)
