If you are using the 7.1.3 sources from unstable, you might want to switch
to using upstream 7.1.3 plus the potato backport patch for 7.1release from
http://people.debian.org/~elphick/postgresql/potato.html . I suspect those
are easier to use on potato.

I vaguely recall a problems in potato highlighted by trying to backport
PostgreSQL versions: building .a libraries using a construct like
ar [options] `tsort foo.o bar.o [...]`
fails when potato's tsort encounters a cycle in the dependencies: rather
than giving a best-effort result, it gives an empty result and an error on
stderr, resulting in "empty" archives. This in turn triggered a bug in
"strip" (which failed with an obscure message about a temp file not being
found when run on such an "empty" archive).
A workaround might be to replace invocations of "tsort" with "echo".
HTH,
