Package: postgresql-q3c
Version: 1.6.0-1
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

Postgres extensions have a hard dependency on the version of postgres
itself.  On the other hand, Debian lets people install multiple postgres
versions in parallel.  Therefore, the package name needs to contain the
postgres version the extension is complied again (e.g., 
postgres-11-q3c).

I'd say postgres-q3c should (roughly) copy what postgis does.  
There, postgres-postgis is a virtual package, with packages like
postgres-11-postgis providing it.  Postgis takes another step in 
allowing multiple versions of postgis itself being installable for a
single postgres version.  I don't think there's a credible use case for
that in q3c.
