I'm talking about https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Apt, which is where
you get redirected if you go to http://apt.postgresql.org.

The /download page should have a similar note I think.

Yeah, that's the one I was referring to, and that's the one that I think the vast majority of people see.

Maybe something similar to your line, but with a link, e.g. something like
"Note! Packages for older versions of PostgreSQL or the operating system may remain in the repository, but are not supported and will in most cases not be updated anymore. For details, see the apt repository wiki page."

with the wiki page being a link. I do like to get the word "unsupported" in there as well, unless you think that's a bad idea?
