Not that hard - at least in version 9.0.3 this worked:

# apt-get build-dep postgresql-client-9.0
$ apt-get source postgresql-client-9.0
$ cd postgresql-9.0-9.0.3/
$ fakeroot-sysv debian/rules binary
# dpkg -i postgresql-client-9.0_9.0.3-1_amd64.deb

Or something along those lines. $ and # characters denote privileges needed (root/user)
