Well, it might be such that this was only in unstable at some point in time,
and by the time they wanted to include it in testing, they skipped 9.0
and went for 9.1 instead.

Well, there is something like pg_upgradecluster, which probably will
attempt a binary conversion of the database, but I guess that in this
state that is hazardous at best. Besides, the standard tool doesn't
seem to like tablespaces (and I'm using one).

I'll look into trying a 9.0.13 first.
