It's a separate package in debian/ubuntu.

$ dpkg -l | grep postgres | grep 8.3
ii  postgresql-8.3                   8.3.0-1~bpo40+1
       object-relational SQL database, version 8.3
ii  postgresql-client-8.3            8.3.0-1~bpo40+1
       front-end programs for PostgreSQL 8.3

(These particular ones are from backports.org).
