Hi,

PostGIS doesn't work with 17 yet:

https://pgdgbuild.dus.dg-i.net/job/postgis-binaries-beta/93/architecture=amd64,distribution=sid/console

Once that is fixed, there will be packages for PG 17. Overall status
is visible there:

Hmm. I had thought that the other steps would already require root,
but pg_upgradecluster and friends do mostly work without. I'm unsure
if I want to prefix every command with "sudo" since the instructions
look scary enough already.
