Looks like all current variants of postgresql-client provide the same
shlib ABI version: libpq.so.5  --- which means under your scheme we'd
end up with postgresql92-server loading libpq.so from
postgresql94-client.  That should work if the postgres devs have been
managing their ABIs carefully, but it does seem like a potential trouble
spot.

Apart from that, yes!  Can we have this yesterday please?

	Cheers,
