Script to add the apt.postgresql.org respository on Debian/Ubuntu

You've probably heard the announcement: Martin Pitt's PPA is being deprecated.  This is in an effort to push folks towards the new official apt.postgresql.org.

See the announcement here: http://www.postgresql.org/about/news/1432/

Also, see the deprecation notice on Martin's PPA:
https://launchpad.net/~pitti/+archive/postgresql

Since we have quite a few customers using Martin's PPA for PostgreSQL packages under Ubuntu, I wrote a little shell script to switch repositories if you're using Martin's PPA and just install the apt.postgresql.org repository if you are not.

You can find it here: https://github.com/pgexperts/add-pgdg-apt-repo
