Quoting Carsten:
Bareos has run into this problem before, btw:

https://salsa.debian.org/pkg-bareos-team/bareos/commit/82a4ffcc18b5b79259394c1571944d2b0b882944

If I had time right now, I'd use codesearch to find packages listing
postgresql in their debian/tests/control and then check if they
currently fail in the same manner as Bacula and Bareos.

The people running ci.debian.net and filing bugs on behalf of failing
tests, for example: you :)
