Since I wanted to test sqlsmith against the new libpqxx, I went ahead
and packaged it. Thanks for the analysis, that helped!
> * libpqxx has released a new major version

I had to "export DEB_CXXFLAGS_MAINT_APPEND = -std=gnu++20" to make it
work but the rest didn't require extra poking.

Bookworm fails because its libstc++-12-dev is missing the "format" header.
(Bullseye fails because libpqxx wants autoconf 2.71. I did not
investigate further since bookworm already fails.)
> * Ubuntu jammy gcc 11
It looks like jammy's autoconf-archive package is too old:
error: invalid first argument `20' to AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX
But let's ignore that, it's EOL next year.
> * Ubuntu noble gcc 13
That worked.
