It's probably not a good idea to use packages from unstable if you want
to keep the rest of your system stable. The unstable packages will
certainly pull in a lot of other unstable packages through dependencies,
including some major ones like libc6.

potato packages are at
http://people.debian.org/~elphick/postgresql/potato.html
though they are not as up-to-date as the unstable distribution; I do them
when I have time.
