well, apt-get source postgresql from unstable and compiling it into potato
is a good solution (at least for postgresql 7.1, 7.1.1 seems to be a little
more complicated due to perl requirements on compilation)
but thank you guys for the hints!! I've got my pgsql 7.1 deb package
compiled for potato and works great!
