This should be fixed in 8.0.5-1.

Quite some AFAIR. To find out which, we need to wade through apt-cache
rdepends libpq4 and check whether the packages still build when
removing these files:
usr/include/postgresql/catalog/pg_type.h
usr/include/postgresql/nodes/nodes.h
usr/include/postgresql/utils/{elog,errcodes,palloc}.h
usr/include/postgresql/{c,pg_config,pg_config_manual,pg_config_os,port}.h
usr/include/postgresql/postgres{,_fe,_ext}.h
Failing example packages are pygresql and psycopg.
Thanks,
Martin
