Debian is a conservative Linux.

IMHO:

Packaging is not so easy, [ https://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/wiki/UsersWikiPostgreSQLPostGIS  ]

- there are [n.=7] Postgres version [9.6,10,11,12,13,14,15 ]   [ now: all supported in bullseye ]

- there are [g.=9 ] Geos version [3.3,3.4,3.5,3.6,3.7,3.8,3.9,3.10,3.11]  [ now: bullsey= 3.9.0 ]

- there are [p.=7 ] Proj version [ 4.8,4.9,5.x,6.x,7.x,8.x,9.x ]    [ now: bullseye = 7.2.1 ]

- there are [d.= 7 ] Gdal version [ 2.4,3.0,3.1,3.2,3.3,3.4,3.5]    [ now: bullseye = 3.2.2 ]

- there are [m.=5] Postgis version [2.4,2.5,3.0,3.1,3.2,3.3]   [now: bullseye= 3.2.1 ]

And there are also projects based on PostGIS.
- Pgrouting [r.=7 ]   [2.3,2.4,2.5,2.6,3.0,3.1,3.2,3.3]  [ now: bullseye= 3.3.0 ; postgresql-12-pgrouting ]

So the ideal "end user" combination =  n*g*p*d*m*r  = 7*9*7*7*5*7  = 108045

Thanks for your answer.

I would like to avoid compiling as much as possible.

I know that postgis 3.2.1 is available and does install without pb. but..

That db run an app which is very long to test, so I need to stick to a postgis 3.0.x

I’m not particularly fluent here but working from the PostGIS project homepage and into the linked package archives I do not see where what you want exists.  It doesn’t seem like the 3.0.x series is being kept up-to-date in packaged form.

But you may want to use PostGIS support channels to have a better chance at getting confirmation/help rather than here.

My general impression is that the packaging, at least for Debian, doesn’t actually understand how the PostGIS project handles versioning support.  But i may be missing something as I’m doing this web-only and apt.postgresql.org is basically impossible to inspect on the web.
