BTW, did you consider implications due to supporting multi-versions of
any packages? I'm not following too deeply development of postgresql and its
children, but I suppose etch will be released with version 8 only
and admins will have to migrate by hand from 7 series. I don't see
any reason to release multiple instances of postgis which could cause
a true nightmare for security team after freezing... Would you please
clarify if all postgis series will be upstream-supported? What's their
roadmaps?
