Right, it has actually been on my long-term wishlist to replace that
patch with an autoconfiscated one with a non-hardcoded version number.
I just didn't do it yet because it was generally rejected when I
proposed it upstream some years ago.

Doesn't make much of a difference indeed, I just made it match the
package name. Also, libpq5 built from -8.3 is used with postgresql-8.2
as well.
