I couldn't agree more.  apt-get will install postgres 6.5 in potato. 
Postgres has gone through two versions since (7.0 and 7.1).
It kind of defeats the purpose of apt if you have manually build everything 
anyway.  Especially considering that most sites use a combination of 
apache/php/postgres all of which have newer versions.
