The usual way this stuff is done in Debian is to have the connection 
with postgress be a separate packate, called something like 
modula3-postgress. and whose description would say "postress binding for 
modula3.

The postinstall scripts for modula3 and mosula3-postgress would 
each check for the other package and make the necessary adjustments.

modula3-postgress would depend both on modula3 and on postgress.

There are probably a few library bindings for which this treatment would 
be appropriate.
