I tried to see what had changed but could only find version bump from 9.2
to 9.6 in commits like these:

https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/commit/b609c8f650ca9854d12edbf623f2419c216e73a7
https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/commit/e1294022875138b40db7d34a9f33ac9f4a7dc655

I'd try to lower those number to 9.5, I'd expect with high probability
things would work just as fine.

Unfortunately, we don't use FreeBSD at $work, but since PG provide their
own packages for a vast variety of versions, there're no problems.

Yeah, which is, like, 10.x. :-)
