Quick summary of the problem: postgresql-8.4 and -9.1 are designed to be
co-installable, as we cannot just remove -8.4 after the upgrade to
precise. It needs to stay around so that people can migrate their 8.4
DBs to 9.1. There is a debconf note and documentation to explain how
this works.

Now, this works fine for the most part, but the problem with this
upgrade is that plperl -8.4 and -9.1 are not co-installable because
lucid to natty's 8.4 versions are built against libperl5.12, which is
not co-installable with libperl5.14.

As we don't really want to trash people's data, the easiest option would
be to reintroduce postgresql-8.4 into universe and build it against Perl
5.14. This should fix the upgrade and keep a migration path. WDYT?
