Since ledgersmb only officially supports 8.1 and 8.2 as of the 1.2.15
release the Debian package explicitly required one of these. This was
implemented back during the 1.2.12 release when 8.3 problems started
cropping up and people started filing bugs.

There is talk about official support of 8.3 in 1.2.16 and the bugs
seem to be resolved - so why not, I just put postgresql-client-8.3
into the package, hop over to alioth and download the latest version,
ledgersmb_1.2.15-2_all.deb
