This is a show stopper for many people who rely on Debian for production servers and Ubuntu server LTS. They still have 8.3. Regardless of the fact that 8.4 is available and stable, the fact that it is not in the repository makes it a deal breaker, since it means it has to be installed from source, and has to be patched manually.
The popular solution to this problem is http://www.backports.org See http://packages.debian.org/lenny-backports/postgresql for postgresql-8.4 packaged for debian stable. Best regards, -- Daniel Vérité PostgreSQL-powered mail user agent and storage: http://www.manitou-mail.org
