We use something like this to put 8.4 on an older debian release.  I'm
guessing that substituting the right repo and version would work for
9.1

sudo apt-get -t lenny-backports install \
postgresql-8.4 \
postgresql-client-8.4 \
postgresql-client-common \
postgresql-common \
postgresql-contrib-8.4 \
postgresql-plpython-8.4 \
postgresql-8.4-slony1 \

Note the -t switch.
