Hi, You might want to consider getting the source or tarball of binary from www.postgresql.org. I've installed such in /usr/local (to not mess with Debian packaging) on my potato system and it works quite nicely. Especially, if you get the almost-released 7.1 (beta5 IIRC) which has write-ahead-logging, outer joins, and lots of other really-appreciated features. In fact, some of these later postgresql releases (>6.5) are available as unofficial debian packages for potato. Search the postgresql.org mailing list archives. There's been discussion of it there.
