The reason I have given on the page is as described to me by the packager,
who I have no reason to disbelieve.

This doesn't follow.

Kexi requires the PostgreSQL development files at build time.
Packages in main cannot "Build-Depend" on packages in universe.
Therefore, Kexi is built without PostgreSQL support in Ubuntu.

Later versions of Kexi replace the kexi-postgresql-driver package, because
that package is no longer useful with current versions of Kexi, and
the "Replaces:" field should indicate to your package manager that it can be
removed.
