Hmm, that isn't too helpful. Any details?

The package "postgresql" is just a transition package to help
dist-upgrading users from the Sarge version. After dist-upgrading it
can be purged, it does not contain anything. There is no PostgreSQL
version 7.5 (that's a fake version to make it newer than all Sarge
packages), likewise Sid does not have "the" postgresql server package
any more. There is one for 7.4 and one for 8.0. Calling one of them
just "postgresql" would be pretty confusing.
