Interesting. We link to BigSQL from our download page (though marked as
OpenSCG):

http://www.postgresql.org/download/linux/ubuntu/

The page does have 9.4.1 listed (but with the wrong year of '5-Feb-14',
should be 2015):

http://community.openscg.com/se/postgresql/packages.jsp

and you are right they didn't upgrade 9.3.X. I am not sure what
requirement we have for packagers listed on our website to have the most
recent versions of _all_ major releases. If they just didn't list
9.3.X anymore and had the most recent major release available, is that
sufficient? Does someone know? I am CC'ing two of our web people.

Did you contact BigSQL about their lack of a 9.3.X update? Our only
control is to remove the link to their website if they are not providing
sufficiently-current updates, but I am not sure that is the case here.
