Right, only those which were supported in any Ubuntu release. E. g.
9.0 has never been in any Ubuntu release, thus there's nothing to
backport them from.

> - regularly dropped releases while they were still supported by PGDG

To be fair, I only drop packages for obsolete Ubuntu releases. And
after people have yelled loud enough, I even put them back.

If you run a production server on an EOLed Ubuntu release, you
shouldn't complain. You are not going to get any security update any
more, so staying at a slightly outdated PostgreSQL version is really
not making much of a difference.

Thanks,

Martin
