Yes, use lenny-backports.
The reason postgresql-8.4 is not available in debian stable is that they
went to feature freeze before 8.4 was released.
Then debian has a very conservative approach to a stable distribution,
the same way PostgreSQL back branches are only updated with fixes, never
with new features.
Here new feature would be either a new package or a new version of a
package if the upgrade ain't for security purposes.
There's no reason to avoid lenny-backports. All the more when
considering PostgreSQL-8.4, which is stable software.
