First of all .. you're right. They way major upgrades are handled could
be improved. However, I'd generally advise to anyone, who's running a
system with critical system component, to either put the corresponding
modules on hold or update them manually to be able to react to
the problems that may arise.

I know, this could be painful in some situations .. especially if you
need to update a lot of critical parts .. but it's going to save you
from trouble that might occur when using 'lunar update'.

Thanks for your feedback though .. I'll have a look at the postgresql
module.

Regards,

Moritz

PS: That version number though is quite interesting actually ..
