Package: libpq-dev
Version: 8.1.0-2
Severity: normal

My problem with the new setup of libpq-dev + postgresql-server-dev ist
pg_config: this is installed in libpq-dev, and always points to the
latest postgresql-server-dev. This is very unfortunate, since I then
cannot build addons for older server versions (e.g. Slony, which only
builds against 8.0 AFAIK). I would recommend branding libpq-dev with the
pg version number, too, to enable builds for older pg versions. As an
alternative, have postgresql-server-dev-X.X supply it's own private
pg_config in a separate location (/var/lib/postgresql/X.X/pg_config?,
but I guess that's against some Debian policy). For me it makes absolute
sense to distribute pg_config with postgresql-server-dev, as it
describes how the server was built.
