I hope it will. The Sarge release manager removed it from the archive because
of my old "too buggy" complaint (which I no longer feel is a problem). (I've
cleared up in "upstream" almost every reported bug in the Debian BTS.)
However, _now_ there might be some possible legal problems with it. The
postgresql driver links against libssl, which has a license that forbids
linking against GPL'd code.
I'm CCing debian-legal list to get opinions on whether linking against libpg,
which then requires linking against libssl, is verboten.
I could drop the postgresql driver altogether, and be okay legally, but I'd
rather not.

If it's strictly within the debian/ directory, then file a bug in the debian
BTS, and CC me if it's grave.
Thank you.
