The php packages probably expect to find the socket in the Debian location:
/var/run/postgresql, since they will be linked with the Debian package
libpgsql2.1. Either rebuild them as well, or create a dummy libpgsql2.1
package that points to your own version, or make a symlink from that
directory to /tmp.
