I would, yes. I would benefit from that in more than one place, and of
course we would have to ship extensions packages for all supported major
versions too, which is something I've been working on for debian. See

http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/postgresql-server-dev-all

Now, what I think I would do about the core package is a quite simple
backport of them, using Martin's excellent work. Do we want our own QA
on them? If yes, I think I would need some help here, maybe with some
build farm support for running from our debian packages rather than from
either CVS or git.
