I'm still finding my way around the packaging system, and may well have
missed things. These files are in /usr/lib/postgres because that
is where the upstream release puts them. I'm happy to change if I have
got the proper locations wrong. I felt that it would be assuming too
much to put a specialist package's files at a high level in the filesystem.
What is the official line? If necessary, please file a bug report.

This is history: POSTGRES became Postgres95, which in turn became
PostgreSQL. The upstream source uses `postgres', and the obsoleted
package postgres95 did, so I did too.
