Sorry, this option was a brainfart of course. postgresql-common's postinst can't dpkg-reconfigure postgresql-8.3, since apt/dpkg are already running at that point. And it would be much more brittle anyway. There just isn't a postgresql-8.3 in squeeze which could clean up, so I think it's much safer to nuke postgresql-8.3's init script in postgresql-common's postinst. While it's breaking the letter of the Debian Policy, the packages are still closely related to each other, and at that point we are sure that the -common init script can fully replace the one from 8.3. So I highly recommend to go with this option. Waiting for -release ack before I upload this.
