A serious bug is enough to keep a package out of testing; it's even enough
to get it pulled from testing if it's already there, especially one that's
almost a year old...
The real problem will've been that postgresql probably needs to be
updated at the same time as php3 and apache and python and a handful of
other software, which hasn't all been stable and consistent and bug-free
since testing got rolled out. (It's problem at the moment is it's getting
uploaded every few days. Hopefully when that settles down it'll go in)
Cheers,
