Yes, that is an FAQ item:
https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Apt/FAQ
I want to try the beta version of the next PostgreSQL release
WARNING: The data format changes between alpha releases, and
occasionally beta releases. Be prepared to pg_dump the database contents
before you upgrade the package to a newer alpha/beta or to a final
release. Check the release notes before upgrading.
We ship packages for alpha and beta releases, but like in the previous
FAQ entry, we have only one version of libpq5 in the main archive
component. To use packages of postgresql-9.6, you need to add the 9.6
component to your /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pgdg.list entry, so the 9.6
version of libpq5 will be available for installation:
deb http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt/ jessie-pgdg main 9.6
