They're as near as "apt-get source postgresql", once you have edited 
/etc/apt/sources.list to point to the package repositories you want,
and have run "apt-get update" to synchronize with those repositories.  

Under the best circumstances, "apt-get source -b postgresql" will 
download the sources and build a ".deb" tailored for your system, 
much as in the BSD "ports" system.  (I say "best circumstances"
because the package or the build process may depend on tools and
"-dev" packages you have not "apt-get install"'ed yet, and because
you might prefer to tinker with configuration options before building.)

I'm sure once Oliver has prepared a 7.1 Debian package he will announce
it here.

(This is getting dangerously Debian-specific.)
