Yes, if you're installing postgres on the same machine postgres comes with a pg_upgradecluster command that should be even faster than dump/restore (and it is much easier if you have several databases), but it needs both postgres versions to be installed at the same time (then next you would pg_dropcluster the old cluster after having verified that everything is in the new cluster and then you can uninstall the old postgres version).
