OK, that's a good reason.  It seems important for pgsql major version
jumps to only happen when the box admin explicitly tries, and this seems
more important than getting to avoid cluttered names and not having to
have explicit CONFLICTS.  So I will concur in your objection to removing
the version tag from PKGNAME.
