You do realize that this is a 2-year-old version of Postgresql, yes?  It seems 
to me that if you're going to take the trouble of porting an application, you 
should port it to something current -- Debian Stable or not.   Particularly 
since, in a year, you can expect that the PostgreSQL community will probably 
stop doing security/stability patches for 7.2.
