and once you downloaded the packages do a :

apt-get build-deps postgresql-8.1
then

dpkg-source -x postgresql-8.2_8.2.3-2.dsc
cd postgresql-8.2-8.2.3
edit debian/control and put the dapper's version for debhelper and cdbs
dpkg-buildpackage -us -nc

you may ignore the version dependency for debhelper and cdbs or edit the
debian/control file to use the dapper version for those packages

then
add this to your /etc/apt/sources.list

deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ feisty main universe

then

apt-get source tzdata
cd tzdata-2007b
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot
cd ..
dpkg -i tzdata_2007b0ubuntu1_all.deb

and now install postgresql 8.2.3
