I don't mean to interfere with your Debian packaging in any way, so I don't want to make any changes there when I'm not 100% sure of what I'm doing. I'm just wondering if there's any need for the build dependency to be so strict. Wouldn't something like "either postgresql-dev >= 7.3 or any version of libpq-dev" be enough to get a fully functional build? Of course Debian policy may set further goals for the build dependencies beyond just getting a functional build, which is why I'm not 100% sure what I'd be doing if I interfered with your packaging here.
