Actually it's psycopg2, not pygresql. Currently I'm not a big fan of
rewriting it to support QtSql just because it might be a good idea.
There might be downsides:
- I'm using some psycopg extensions that might not be supported in qtsql
- I remember discussion on qgis-dev list regarding problems with
deployment on mac os x (no postgresql plugin in qt)
- new bugs due the rewrite
So for now I'll stick with psycopg until I'll have a reason to rewrite
it to qtsql.

When something isn't in a repository, people are too lazy to install
it manually :)
