Ok, but that doesn't tell me if it's one megabyte of data downloading
at 10K/s, or one gigabyte downloading at 10M/s. The difference is
ofcourse marginal and not terribly important. It's just something I
wondered.

Hmm, postgresql is a transistional package which depends on version
7.4. I'm not sure if it's sensible to change that, given it may break
people's machine.

But indeed it's the maintainers call.

Have a nice day,
