Oh I see, indeed commit 6697aa2bc25c83b88d6165340348a31328c35de6
"Improve support for building PGXS modules with VPATH" fixes the
problem and I see it's not present in REL9_3_0.

Andrew and others, does this seem safe enough to backport to 9.3.1?

Erm, isn't apt.postgresql.org supposed to ship the *official*
PostgreSQL versions? Given that this issue affects all distros, I
don't see why Ubuntu/Debian need to be patched separately.

Does anyone else think this is problematic? By slipping patches into
distro-specific packages, you're confusing users (like me) and
bypassing the PostgreSQL QA process.

PS: Where are the sources used to build packages on apt.postgresql.org?
