Packaging has always been straight:

svr1# ls -l */postgresql-7.?.tar.gz
-rw-rw-r-- 1 pgsql pgsql 9173732 May 9 2000 v7.0/postgresql-7.0.tar.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 pgsql pgsql 8088678 Apr 13 2001 v7.1/postgresql-7.1.tar.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 pgsql pgsql 9180168 Feb 4 2002 v7.2/postgresql-7.2.tar.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 pgsql pgsql 11059455 Nov 27 2002 v7.3/postgresql-7.3.tar.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 pgsql pgsql 12311256 Nov 16 17:57 v7.4/postgresql-7.4.tar.gz
