I just tried on my laptop, which has wheezy and the same toolchain as
Borka; it took a few tries because the tex settings need some more
adjustments, but it is able to generate the 2960-page PDF.

BTW the advice we give about tex settings in our docs is outdated.  I
first tried with the settings Kris Jurka suggested me years ago:
http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/Pine.BSO.4.64.0710081442210.18524@leary.csoft.net
but they are not enough; I had to raise pool_size for pdfjadetex even
more.  Here's what I have that works.  Maybe they're not all necessary,
but I really have no interest in pruning this.  I put this in
/etc/texmf/texmf.d/20pgdocs.cnf and re-ran update-texmf:

hash_extra.jadetex  = 32500
hash_extra.pdfjadetex  = 500000
pool_size.jadetex = 500000
pool_size.pdfjadetex = 4000000
string_vacancies.jadetex = 45000
string_vacancies.pdfjadetex = 45000
max_strings.jadetex = 58500
max_strings.pdfjadetex = 500000
pool_free.jadetex = 47500
pool_free.pdfjadetex = 47500
nest_size.jadetex = 500
nest_size.pdfjadetex = 500
param_size.jadetex = 1500
param_size.pdfjadetex = 1500
save_size.jadetex = 5000
save_size.pdfjadetex = 50000
stack_size.jadetex = 1500
stack_size.pdfjadetex = 1500
extra_mem_bot.jadetex = 85000
extra_mem_bot.pdfjadetex = 85000

I also updated borka to have this configuration.
