Hi Christoph,
thank you very much for your reply with a first help.

I have polished both packages, with the repository still in the
debian-science section (but I will move them to pkg-postgresql as soon
as I become a member). They look fine to me now (except tests; see
below), but could you have a look there?

Sure, however this is out of my own scope.

Yea, pg_buildext is nice.

I'd love to. Especially q3c has this already enabled. However I don't
know how to enable a test postgresql database server. When I just add
postgresql-client to d/control[.in], I get
createdb q3c_test
createdb: could not connect to database template1: could not connect to
server: No such file or directory
Is the server running locally and accepting
connections on Unix domain socket "/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432"?
Makefile:37: recipe for target 'test' failed
during the build. Do you have any hints here?
Best regards
Ole
