The postgresql-8.4 packages arrived in 9.10 (Karmic) about two hours
ago. https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/postgresql-8.4

Assuming you are not running the 9.10 prerelease, you may want to
request a backport to whatever Ubuntu release you are running -
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackport. This should be no
drama.

Major postgresql releases always get a new package. This allows you to
have multiple major versions installed and running simultaneously.
