Ah, sorry, I omitted that detail :(

Release target for new installs is current Debian Stable, IOW
Bookworm, which has PG 15.

        postgresql:
          Installiert:           15+248
          Installationskandidat: 15+248
          Versionstabelle:
             16+257 500
                500 https://deb.debian.org/debian testing/main i386 Packages
         *** 15+248 990
                990 https://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm/main i386 Packages
                100 /var/lib/dpkg/status


However, legacy deployments may run, say PG 13,

        root@hermes:~/bin# rmadison postgresql
        postgresql | 11+200+deb10u5 | oldoldstable | all
        postgresql | 13+225+deb11u1 | oldstable    | all
        postgresql | 15+248         | stable       | all
        postgresql | 16+257         | testing      | all
        postgresql | 16+257         | unstable     | all

so ideally it would work on that, too. However, it does not
seem too much to ask to *upgrade* GNUmed database servers to
Debian *Stable* if on plans on running the next,
as-yet-unreleased version ;-)

:-)   I knew I missed something. As Greg also pointed out
that is what I need.

Thanks !
