To be useful for Debian, it should probably run on PostgreSQL 9.1
(shipped with Wheezy), or 9.2. I don't think the UDD people would want
to rely on 9.3 features.

That said, I'd think the JSON stuff would probably be constructed on
the client side of the UDD database connection, i.e. you fire of
standard SQL queries and render that as JSON for the web request.

Did you ask the UDD people about this?
