PostgreSQL has taken an enormous lap in last years, not only in features, but in performance and modules, in several cases we have no hurry to upgrading 9.6 while there is LTS. In many other cases we might want to next latest features or test extensions like PipelineDB, we will walk you thhrough the update procedure in Debian to reach release 11, these steps will be sufficient for any mayor release upgrade.
