In your defense, you didn't miss anything. We haven't documented a
minimum required version for Postgres. This is something we should
address.

Well, The official 1.2.1 release doesn't include the call to
pg_get_serial_sequence(), so I would suggest checking out that
release. Unless you have a particularly compelling reason to do
otherwise, stable releases will always be a better option than
following trunk.

However, going forward, you *really* need to investigate your database
options. Postgres 7.4 will officially reach end-of-life in July [1];
this means that there won't be any further bug fixes or updates.

Django hasn't needed to make an official policy on Postgres
deprecations, but this changeset may force us to make a decision. If I
had to guess, I'd say imposing an 8.0 minimum, following the
PostgreSQL's own deprecation schedule; there isn't much benefit to be
had in supporting a backend that Postgres itself doesn't support.
