That's what any extension author and/or packager is faced with. Using
debian, it's easy enough to have more than one postgresql-server-dev-8.X
package at the same time and then use VPATH builds.

I guess the scripts I'm preparing for easing the debian packaging of
extensions should be usable on other Unix systems too, after adapting
some of the paths.
