Uh, yes, and no, you don't need to also Cc me.

Etch is Debian/stable.  It's intended as a stable platform and doesn't
get major version bumps.  It was released with PostgreSQL 8.1.

Uhh..  Did I miss something, or do you *actually* see PostgreSQL 8.2 in
Etch?  I don't think it'd be terribly useful for postgresql-8.2-postgis
to exist w/ postgresql-8.2.

If you'd like more recent software but a less stable platform, you might
try Debian/testing or Debian/unstable.
