Kind of the point for me of using Debian is to not have to go shopping around all of the web for packages and because I want to have a uniform packaging standard: Debian Policy. That's why I don't trust anyone but Debian to produce Debian packages. It's a lot of hard work to make sure all packages adhere to a common standard, a standard that upstream distributors will not follow. In this case, however, the Postgres packager is also the Debian packager, so I decided to trust his direct upstream Debian packages and installed them. This is a rare exception, and I don't want to be doing this all the time.
