Hi,

the plan is to simply continue providing PostgreSQL packages on
apt.postgresql.org. We (I) won't additionally feed updates via the
squeeze-lts suite.

What we will probably do though is to do a one-time upload of
postgresql-common to squeeze-lts to make users aware of
apt.postgresql.org via a NEWS.Debian entry and a debconf note.

I haven't prepared anything for that yet, but I guess there will be
some announcement on pgsql-announce or similar shortly.
