Ok, I understand that the LTS from "apt.postgresql.org" is expected to
work on following releases, or there will be additionnal packages.

ISTM that Canonical has announced that they are going to change their
release policy so that there would be only LTS and continuous updates in
between... So you're just ahead of time.

Thanks for your answer, have a nice day.
