You can backport PostgreSQL on debian platforms quite easily, as related here:
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-general/2007-05/msg00427.php

But using the backports as given on another post is still easier, and provides
automatic upgrades of minor versions. Just though you might be interrested in
how to easily recompile a postgresql package under your system. Think about
replacing the deb-src sid target by ubuntu feisty (or newer, don't know) one.
