Just to jump in here as part of the team who is working to package ledger-smb officially in Debian[0] - this 8.3 problem is a big one for us. 8.3 is the default for testing, which will be frozen for a stable release later this year (so I guess it depends on how "close to stable" we're talking). As of right now it's going to be tough (impossible?) for us to get ledgersmb into the next stable Debian release if 8.3 isn't supported prior to the freeze. I'm not saying that we expect focused development in this area to meet this goal, it's more of just an FYI from our end. That said, we're starting a dialog with the Debian postgresql folks to discuss this implicit type casts issue, as it's a big change that has the possibility of impacting a lot of applications.
