I'm interested in providing a Debian package, but the need to have the
postgresql source tree available is a problem.  At the moment, unless I
incorporate slony-I into the postgresql source package, I can't package
it; the Debian autobuilders cannot be configured to build one package
(postgresql) and then keep its source around while another package is
built.

I thought someone was working on making a subsection of postgresql that
would be sufficient to let packages like Slony-I build independently; is
that making any progress?  If not, what files from the source tree does
Slony-I need for its build?  I could make a binary package to provide
just those and make that one a Build-dependency for the Slony-I package.
