Hi, if I understand correctly, You are trying to backport PostGIS
package from testing or unstable to Lenny.
If so, You must change package dependencies in 'debian/control' file
to fit in Lenny.

Change 'libproj-dev' to 'proj' and 'postgresql-server-dev-8.4' to
'postgresql-server-dev-8.3'.
And try.
