Well, the patches are applyed on the debian packages (not only in
apt.pgdg.org).
The packages provided by apt.postgresql.org are based on the 'official
packages' from debian. (if you allow me this circle)

The QA is about distribution of packages here. Debian applies 14 patches
on 9.3 builds, not only the things about vpath we're talking about.
