Here is the situation:

If you are running postgres 7.0, the sid versions of python-popy
and zope-zpopyda will work fine.  (With no conflicts, no complaints,
everything just working).

To make the sid package pre-install process faster, I looked in 
/etc/postgres, a directory NOT created by a source install
of upstream postgres.  To make things a bit more specific, I
looked for a particular file in /etc/postgres.

postgres 7.1 removed that marker file, and so the pre-install
grumbles.

This is probably good, as postgres 7.1 is currently not supported by 
popy.

I have delayed uploaded a new version because upstream has repeatedly made
"just around the corner' type statements.  I think that I shall have to 
upload a new version with a "Conflicts With: .. 7.1", just to avoid
this (hopefully) interim problem.

PS:  If you are not using Debian, you don't care about any of the above.

If you are using postgres7.1 and need a postgresql adapter today, then
I urge you to look at psycopg
