Let me point you at a file on your computer that may help.
/var/lib/dpkg/available is the list of all Debian packages available to you
based on your apt sources. A quick search for 'gres' in there shows me that
there is a python-postgresql package.
This package comes directly from the postgres source (it says Source:
postgresql). So for this to have the proper depends the maintainer needs to
recompile it against the new python setup (which means a recompile of all of
postgres). You should check the bug archives to see if someone has submitted a
bug and if so what the maintainer's response was. A polite email giving him a
nudge may not hurt either.
