Are you suggesting that if an user has 7.4 and install 8.3 then the package
will replace psql-7.4 with psql-8.3? It will confuse users more that help them
(psql --version ?) and we will have extra effort to maintain the compatibility
version list at each binary.
IMHO, we shouldn't advise packagers to do it and instead put some efforts in
the in-place-upgrade project.
