 Hmm, you are right, I just installed the required packages myself and
looked it up. I think that is an error in the reporting of the module
and might be hardcoded inside somehow and thus it doesn't report what it
currently is linking in but actually what it was compiled against:

#v+
$ strings /usr/lib/php5/20090626+lfs/pgsql.so | grep 8.4.8
8.4.8
#v-

 So yes, it seems like the string is hardcoded inside the php5-pgsql
module and is not retreived dynamically from the library it actually
uses.

 Yeah for static reporting!
