Ah, thanks for clearing that up.

Yeah ...

Now I seem to recall some discussion with a packager who felt that
providing just the latest-and-greatest libpq was sufficient for
clients, and only server-side code needed to depend on the server
version.  So I'm betting that the intention on the Ubuntu packager's
end is that you use a -I for /usr/include/postgresql when building
client code, while if you want to build a server extension, you
point at the appropriate version subdirectory.  Meanwhile, the
extension Travis is trying to build is unfamiliar with that idea
and is throwing in a bunch of -I switches willy-nilly.

In short, yeah, try removing the -I that's pointing at the upper
directory.
