Thanks a lot.
Could someone confirm the following my recognition ?

The LPGL package could add and release a copy of some Postgres BSD
licensed code as LGPL ones together with the current LGPL code and
then the package is still entirely LGPL. When some changes are made
on the LGPL but originally BSD licencsed code, we can't reflect the
changes to the orignal Postgres code.
