fyi & fwiw,
  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gis.grass.pkg.general/3449
  http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=597634

ingredients to build one yourself (eg with `debuild`) can be found here:
  http://svn.debian.org/viewsvn/pkg-grass/packages/postgis/trunk/debian/

although some tweaking is probably required. Edit the debian/changelog
to make your build version 1.5.2-0, so when the official x.y.z-1 version
comes out they'll automatically get upgraded.

Hamish
