That's because you install versioned packages like postgres-15: https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/postgresql-15

That way you can have multiple versions of the same package.

No, what I meant is that the install path for Postgres on Debian involves installing versioned packages. It's the only approved way of installing Postgres from the Debian repos that I'm aware of.
