Hi,

that package will appear with the next postgresql-common release. It's
already in the *-pgdg-testing suites, but I haven't promoted
postgresql-common yet because I want to test the changes more.

Using it in the postgresql-12 B-D was done intentionally (the newer
ones will get it as well on the next round of minor releases), but
then I lost track of that dependency when promoting postgresql-12.

Sorry, it will stay in that broken state until the next PG minor
releases happen in the 2nd week of February.

I get daily reminders about this from the failing builddebcheck job:
https://jengus.postgresql.org/view/Testsuite/job/builddebcheck/
... so some of the pain can be felt here as well ;)
