The packages in testing are built with the versions of libraries that
you listed.  You can't install them on a stable system without either
overriding their dependencies (probably a bad idea!) or doing a more
general upgrade.

You need to install packages built on stable, and you can find some
(rather out of date, I'm afraid) at
http://people.debian.org/~elphick/postgresql

Alternatively, get the source package of 7.1.3-4 and build it yourself.
