You do realize that this is a 2-year-old version of Postgresql, yes? It seems
to me that if you're going to take the trouble of porting an application, you
should port it to something current -- Debian Stable or not. Particularly
since, in a year, you can expect that the PostgreSQL community will probably
stop doing security/stability patches for 7.2.
