Re: [Pkg-postgresql-public] postgresql-* package namespace

Nod. We do have some weirdness there. The schema is that packages built from postgresql itself use postgresql-*-x.y (mostly), and all others use postgresql-x.y-*. Arguably, that's confusing. I have some plan in the back of my brain that extension modules should ship .so files for all postgresql

I usually prefer packages to use the upstream name so they are easy to find (think other distributions). The various postgresql-* packages are mostly plugins (PL/something) which follow the example of postgresql-plperl-x.y (built from PG core). For real applications like barman, that's not real
