Hmm. They don't automatically get built as part of the PostgreSQL build.
I see that it needs ant to build...
...there seems to be a Debian package for that, good!
Try the build:
$ ant
Searching for build.xml ...
Buildfile: /usr3/home/olly/mypackages/pg7.1/postgresql-7.1beta5/build.xml
jar:

xml:99: Cannot use classic compiler, as it is not available
...bafflement! What is "classic compiler"? The XML line begins "<javac"
I have jdk1.1 installed, which contains /usr/lib/jdk1.1/bin/javac.
