Thank you for the warning! However, all postgresql versions in
unstable use the system tzdata, and we also patched the Etch version
to do so a while ago:

postgresql-8.1 (8.1.10-0etch1) stable; urgency=low

  * New upstream bugfix release:
    - Require non-superusers who use "/contrib/dblink" to use only
      password authentication, as a security measure.
      [CVE-2007-3278, CVE-2007-3280]
    - Make "CREATE DOMAIN ... DEFAULT NULL" work properly.
    - Allow the interval data type to accept input consisting only of
      milliseconds or microseconds.
    - Speed up rtree index insertion.
    - Fix excessive logging of SSL error messages.
    - Fix logging so that log messages are never interleaved when using
      the syslogger process.
    - Fix crash when log_min_error_statement logging runs out of memory.
    - Fix incorrect handling of some foreign-key corner cases.
    - Prevent "REINDEX" and "CLUSTER" from failing due to attempting to
      process temporary tables of other sessions.
    - Update the time zone database rules, particularly New Zealand's
      upcoming changes. (Closes: #443360)
  * Drop debian/patches/00upstream-01-polymorphic-functions.patch, upstream
    now.
  * Use the timezone database from the system tzdata instead of shipping our
    own. (Closes: #458927, #454637)
    - debian/patches/04-timezone-symlinks.patch: Drop previous
      hardlink-to-symlink patch to zic, since that is irrelevant now. Replace
      the patch with a Makefile change that just symlinks /usr/share/zoneinfo
      to where postgresql previously installed its own tzdata copy.
    - debian/control: Add tzdata dependency.
    - debian/postgresql-8.1.install: Install the 'timezone' symlink, not the
      files in the dereferenced directory.
    - debian/postgresql-8.1.postinst: Replace the timezone directory with the
      symlink on upgrades, since dpkg does not do that automatically. Without
      this, we'd end up with an empty timezone directory.

I did not do that yet for postgresql-7.4 in etch. That version is
mainly existant for clean upgrades from Sarge (which had 7.4, and
didn't have our new multiversion/safe upgrades infrastructure yet), so
I guess it's not terribly urgent for this old version. I keep the bug
open for this, though.

Thanks,

Martin
