Yesterday at work I were in the same situation. Thus I backported the 
packages postgresl and postgresql-7.4:

http://www.stud.uni-karlsruhe.de/~uinx/debian/sarge-backports/postgresql_7.5.21~bpo.1.dsc
http://www.stud.uni-karlsruhe.de/~uinx/debian/sarge-backports/postgresql-7.4_7.4.13-4~bpo.1.dsc

Please review and upload the packages to the www.backports.org archive 
if they are good enough.

Please note that I didn't backport the latest version of postgresql-7.4 
which was not involved in the python transition. The current package in 
Etch and Sid has version 1:7.4.14-1.
