Maybe we just need to mention "PPA" on the wiki page so google finds
it?

It's kind of an chicken-and-egg problem, if you download the repo
package, you still don't have any key to verify it. Though "wget
pgdg.deb && dpkg -i pgdg.deb" will probably be trustworthy enough for
most people so we should be providing that, yes.

That's true. We might ship the key in postgresql-common itself then,
and add a script to install the backports package? For existing stable
releases we can point people to the install instructions.
