Note that we can always use more people to help Debian, too.  If you feel
Debian is too slow uploading new pg versions [1]: perhaps you can change
this by helping Martin preparing and testing new packages.  Packaging stuff
for Debian is not magic, it's just Makefiles, Perl/shell scripts and stuff
like this.  (And I, too, like the parallel installation of different pg
versions and was very much missing it when I was forced to work on SuSE for
some business stuff...)

[1] (you did look at "unstable" and "experimental"?  The stable releases are
quite slow, that's true.)
