Hello,

I have wondered about what stopped this from being finished.

Looking at https://release.debian.org/transitions/html/perl5.20.html
the only thing marked red is postgresql-9.3. And indeed I think
perl is now blocked by and depending on the postgresql-9.4 transition
(#755096).

I think this happened:
postgresql-9.4 takes over most of the binary packages of postgresql-9.3
and this somehow breaks binNMUing postgresql-9.3. It can be rebuilt,
but many binaries are simply dropped because there is newer version in
sid, and many of the other binaries are uninstallable, since they depend
on (= ${binary:Version}) of dropped packages.

The fact that
http://ftp.at.debian.org/debian/pool/main/p/postgresql-9.3/ shows no
binaries versioned 9.3.4-2+b1 although
https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=postgresql-9.3&suite=unstable
lists some uploads seems to confirm this.
