[Users] debian postgresql package

Hi Klaus,

there are two choices:
    libpq-dev and libpq4
    postgresql-dev and libpq3

the reason why I choose the first one is because the status of 
"postgresql-dev" :
    postgresql-dev - development files for libpq (transitional package)
and
    apt-cache show libpq-dev says:
    Replaces: postgresql-dev

so, it looks to me that  "postgresql-dev and libpq3" will be soon 
outdated and replaced by "libpq-dev and libpq4". Also, your argument 
that libpq-dev does not appear in debian stable it's strong one.

If nobody has an objection, I will switch the dependency to 
"postgresql-dev" until the "libpq-dev" will be available in stable.

regards,
bogdan
