I suppose you're running a Sarge version of Debian if apt-get installed
the 7.x version of Postgres.

At the moment postgis is not officially in Sarge.

Two solutions :

1. you need postgres 8.x : no official sarge build for this. You can
upgrade to Etch, or find an unofficial postgres 8.x version (camptocamp
has one) and use the debian-gis[1] unofficial postgis packages.

2. you can stay with the 7.4 version : you can use directly the
debian-gis packages

I can provide some french help if needed.
