I suggest looking at the README.Debian for postgres, it contains much
important information you need to understand how multiple concurrently
installed versions work.

First, check what you have installed with pg_lsclusters (this will give
you the port number). Normally you can specify the cluster directly to
pg_dump but if you want the actual binary go to:
/usr/lib/postgresql/<version>/bin/pg_dump.
