What do you mean by "informed during the installation"?

If you mean that there was a newer version of postgresql available in etch
than the one installed in the database task, that doesn't sound like a
matter of testing; testing can't tell you what /should/ be installed.

If you mean that upon installing the package the user immediately got a
debconf prompt informing him that there was an old version installed, I
agree that this is a silly bug, but it's not one I can reproduce with
"tasksel install database-server" on etch.
