Right. apt.pg.o packages are using the same source as Debian, just

In some cases, additional tweaks are applied to get packages built for
older distributions. In postgis' case, that is only the case on
trusty:

You can take that git, check out the debian/2.3.3+dfsg-1 tag and start
from there. Chances are that this will Just Work.
