The pgdg repositories are (now) using the default priority, so apt
will prefer the pgdg packages over the native ones. It just isn't
smart enough to figure out that the raring package would have worked.

Martin: What do you think about generating the logrotate config at
install (configuration) time so we can drop the fixed logrotate
depends/breaks? Using "ucf" for generated files in /etc/ is pretty
easy to do, the open question would be how to detect that logrotate
was just upgraded and that we need to re-generate the file. Maybe with
a trigger on /usr/sbin/logrotate? Or is that too much magic? (Are we
aware of other packages that have this problem?)
