FWIW, Don Armstrong (the main debbugs hacker these days I believe)
recently posted a blog post about a more obscure feature of debuugs
(forcemerge), where he finishs with "so we can eventually keep a
postgresql database updated in addition to the flatfile database.":

I don't know whether this implies a full PostgreSQL backend or just a
helper DB for some part of the functionality, but it might be something
to keep watching.
