Updating to a newer version is always a huge mission, as there are a
lot of packaged extensions which need to be ported and updated along.
Also, if the next major version comes out, we then need to remove all
reverse dependencies to the previous versions, i. e. port them all
again. So we try to avoid introducing e. g. 9.2 into Debian unstable
now precisely so that people do *not* start depending on 9.2, as 9.3
is already around the corner (beta2 right now).

We have more flexibility on apt.postgresql.org as that doesn't need to
guarantee that everything is supported throughout the full lifetime of
the corresponding Debian/Ubuntu release.
