Not really.  I think Devrim Gunduz has been working on a similar idea
for the RPM distributions, but no results yet.  Obviously the lack of
a convenient upgrade path is a real PITA, so I'm in favor of solving
it somehow, but how to do it without breaking a lot of stuff?

(It should be noted that upstream is working on in-place upgrade;
but I wouldn't exactly hold my breath on that happening for PG 8.4,
and it does nothing for existing releases anyway.)
