I've added better logging of pg_upgrade testing to the buildfarm module:
<https://github.com/PGBuildFarm/client-code/commit/83834cceaea95ba42c03a1079a8c768782e32a6b>
example is at
<http://www.pgbuildfarm.org/cgi-bin/show_log.pl?nm=crake&dt=2012-12-01%2017%3A44%3A03>
This will be in the next buildfarm client release.
