* New upstream bug fix release:
  - Repair potential deadlock between concurrent "VACUUM FULL"
    operations on different system catalogs.
  - Fix longstanding "LISTEN"/"NOTIFY" race condition.
  - Disallow "LISTEN" and "UNLISTEN" within a prepared transaction.
    This was formerly allowed but trying to do it had various
    unpleasant consequences, notably that the originating backend could
    not exit as long as an "UNLISTEN" remained uncommitted.
  - Disallow dropping a temporary table within a prepared transaction
    This was correctly disallowed by 8.1, but the check was
    inadvertently broken in 8.2.
  - Fix rare crash when an error occurs during a query using a hash
    index.
  - Fix memory leaks in certain usages of set-returning functions.
  - Fix input of datetime values for February 29 in years BC.
  - Fix "unrecognized node type" error in some variants of "ALTER
    OWNER".
  - Ensure pg_stat_activity.waiting flag is cleared when a lock wait is
    aborted.
  - Fix pg_ctl to correctly extract the postmaster's port number from
    command-line options.(See #358546)
  - Use "-fwrapv" to defend against possible misoptimization in recent
    gcc versions.
  - Correctly enforce statement_timeout values longer than INT_MAX
    microseconds (about 35 minutes).
  - Fix "unexpected PARAM_SUBLINK ID" planner error when
    constant-folding simplifies a sub-select.
  - Fix logical errors in constraint-exclusion handling of IS NULL and
    NOT expressions.
  - Fix another cause of "failed to build any N-way joins" planner
    errors.
  - Fix incorrect constant propagation in outer-join planning.
  - Fix display of constant expressions in ORDER BY and GROUP BY.
  - Fix libpq to handle NOTICE messages correctly during COPY OUT.
* debian/watch: Update for currently working mirror. (Closes: #462823)
