postgresql-common 98 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

postgresql-common (98) unstable; urgency=low

  * debian/control: Add missing lsb-release dependency (which now ships the
    lsb_release program). (Closes: #520992)
  * Add support for 8.4 (pre-release snapshots for now):
    - debian/supported-versions: Support 8.4 everywhere (for backports).
    - cleanpg: Remove 8.4 clusters.
    - pg_createcluster: Clone configure_8_3() as configure_8_4().
    - t/060_obsolete_confparams.t: Add complete set of 8.3 configuration
      options, to test configuration migration to 8.4.
    - PgCommon.pm, get_cluster_locales(): Bail out if calling on 8.4 or later
      cluster (where locales are not associated to clusters any more).
      PgCommon.pm, get_cluster_databases(): Ignore lines from psql -Atl which
      just describe access permissions.
    - pg_ctlcluster: Only do locales check for <= 8.3 for now.
    - "ident sameuser" does not exist any more in 8.4, just use "ident" from
      8.4 on.
    - pg_createcluster: Do not symlink root.crt if
      /etc/postgresql-common/root.crt does not have actual certificates (just
      the help text), since 8.4 gets royally confused about the dummy one.
    - pg_upgradecluster: Migrate obsolete/changed configuration parameters.
    - t/020_create_sql_remove.t: Fix parsing of psql -Atl output for new 8.4
      format.
    - t/030_errors.t: 8.4 now fails on invalid pg_hba.conf, update
      accordingly.
    - t/050_encodings.t: Stop using pg_controldata for checking cluster
      encoding. Just check psql -Atl.
  * pg_upgradecluster: Don't call createdb/dropdb with -q; it got dropped in
    8.4 and is not necessary any more with 8.3 either.
  * t/010_defaultport_cluster.t: Ensure that we run the test with
    LC_MESSAGES=C, so that it succeeds in non-English locales, too.
  * t/051_inconsistent_encoding_upgrade.t: Disable if the oldest available
    cluster is 8.3 or newer; the test is not relevant there, and will fail.
