Well, I figured this out, but I was quite surprised. "Hmmm, where in hell did configure catch 8.1? dpkg -l \*8.1\* -> nothing." Compiling server-side extensions, e.g. Slony, might be critical to allow an upgrade of the DB server at all. (Slony is one of the solutions that allows to migrate huge databases, by setting up a cluster with different versions of postgresql, switching master node, and you've upgraded, with perhaps 30s all in all downtime to your application. Dumping and reloading the database in our case would have taken at least 30mins, which would have been accepted in this case by management, but our db is currently small after 1 month or so of operation.)
