The debian and ubuntu PostgreSQL packages ship with a modified postgresql version string. I would recommend using a different PostgreSQL package, install from source, or use debian's py-postgresql package accommodating for the modification local to their distribution.

Is it possible to adopt is so as the module could be used with any version string? It's ridiculous that I cannot use it only because of this.
