On Debian, it's sometimes ... mmm ... intricate. When all is fine, it's
a breeze. But when you start to have a mix of packages from various
releases, things tend to be a bit harder. Furthermore, when you need
non-standard tools (and this is the case with Postgres, IIRC), it's
often *much* better to use the (usually marvellous) work of Debian
maintainers. After all, I'm maintaining a databas to use it, not for the
sake of maintaining it's DBMS : I use Postgres and Debian because they
are the right tool for my purposes, not for love of the tools themselves.
Sincerely,
Emmanuel Charpentier
