It seems to me that this isn't an issue once it's in libpq-dev.
libpq-dev should always point to the latest thing which is what people
should be building new packages against.  Additionally, libpq-dev should
depend on libpq4.  It's not like there's anything more special about
pg_config than there is about libpq-dev/libpq4.
