Ok.  So as someone that tried to understand pinning once and gave up,
do you pin the packages or use:

    apt-get -t sarge-backports install postgresql

method?

I guess it's in the docs, but how do you use psql with both versions?
And I assume I'll need to rebuild DBD::Pg -- and any tricks getting
it to link with the correct client library?

It's the "managed" part of the Dreamhost server that has me
worried.  ;)

Thanks,
