Package: facturalux
Version: 0.4-7
Severity: serious

Hi!

facturalux still depends on 'postgresql' which is a transitional
package since the Sarge release. Now this dependency prevents new
postgresql-7.4 versions from going into testing [1], since there are
no 7.4 server packages for mips and mipsel any more.

I recommend that you drop the postgresql dependency altogether, since
the actual server can be on a remote machine. If you still want to
add it to the dependencies, please use

  Recommends: postgresql-8.1 | postgresql-7.4

I set this to serious since the postgresql-7.4 version in testing is
very old and has open security holes (remote SQL injection), so it is
vital that it can go into testing ASAP.

On that occasion, please make sure to build against libpq-dev instead
of postgresql-dev (if you use this build dependency) and make sure
that the resulting binaries depend on libpq4 (not on the old libpq3).

Thank you!

Martin
