Thanks for letting us know.
BTW, the information in postgresql-7.4.6/debian/copyright is out of date
(old download URL, old PostgreSQL copyright dates & the regex copyright
should be updated per the license in src/backend/regex/COPYRIGHT).
20pg_dump_datestyle seems redundant (we already set DateStyle to ISO in
pg_dump).

apply this to HEAD unless anyone objects.

ISTM the right fix is to use xml2-config.

I can't find these patches in this diff:
http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/p/postgresql/postgresql_7.4.6-2.diff.gz
could you tell me where to find them?
