One issue with packaged multiple-version installations (practiced by
Debian, Solaris, and soon Fedora?) is that the mo files (translation
files) should be in a fixed location like /usr/share/locale, which does
not allow PostgreSQL-version specific subdirectories.
The Debian packages solve
Solaris currently stores messages into separate directories like
/usr/postgres/8.3/share/locale which solves multiversion problem, but it brings
another problem, because gettext on solaris needs extra directory infrastructure.
I think debians patch is good approach.

Of course, as is it's not acceptable; the version number should be
obtained from PG_VERSION or some such.
Right, it has actually been on my long-term wishlist to replace that
patch with an autoconfiscated one with a non-hardcoded version
