I don't think so.

$ ldd /usr/lib/postgresql/lib/libecpg.so
libpq.so.2 => /usr/lib/libpq.so.2 (0x40019000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4002e000)
libssl.so.0.9.6 => /usr/lib/i686/libssl.so.0.9.6 (0x40141000)
libcrypto.so.0.9.6 => /usr/lib/i686/libcrypto.so.0.9.6 (0x4016e000)
libkrb5.so.17 => /usr/lib/libkrb5.so.17 (0x40226000)
libcrypt.so.1 => /lib/libcrypt.so.1 (0x4025c000)
libresolv.so.2 => /lib/libresolv.so.2 (0x40289000)
libnsl.so.1 => /lib/libnsl.so.1 (0x4029a000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x80000000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x402ad000)
libcom_err.so.1 => /usr/lib/libcom_err.so.1 (0x402b0000)
libasn1.so.5 => /usr/lib/libasn1.so.5 (0x402b2000)
libroken.so.9 => /usr/lib/libroken.so.9 (0x402d2000)
libdb3.so.3 => /usr/lib/libdb3.so.3 (0x402e3000)

Here libecpg will look for libpq.so.2. When 7.3.1 is released, this
libecpg will be replaced by one that looks for libpq.so.3. But I think
that, unless the API of libecpg changes, its version should stay the
same.

If you change it with libpq, you must also change it with all the other
libraries it links in, like libkrb5 and libdb3. That is clearly
impracticable.
