Looking at the build log shows that this is caused by postgresql-dev 7.5.4's
dependency on libpq-dev; libpq-dev 8.0.3-5 Conflicts: with postgresql-dev,
which means that postgresql-dev 7.5.4 is uninstallable on all systems and is
therefore never a candidate for testing.  If you mean to provide this as a
transition package, please do so without the self-conflicts; otherwise,
postgresql-dev probably needs to either be dropped or have its dependencies
fixed.
