Hm, we already discussed that in bug #348875, and I fixed that ages
ago:

postgresql-common (40) unstable; urgency=low
[...]
  * PgCommon.pm, next_free_port(): Check if the port is already in use, skip
    it if so. Closes: #348875.

I'm fairly sure that this works, the test suite has a check for it.
Doesn't it have the desired effect?

Thanks,

Martin
