This is interesting, because I have yet a third problem with postgresql:
bluegreen:~> sudo apt-get install postgresql
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
The following extra packages will be installed:
libpgsql2
The following NEW packages will be installed:
libpgsql2 postgresql
0 packages upgraded, 2 newly installed, 0 to remove and 13 not upgraded.
Need to get 0B/830kB of archives. After unpacking 2005kB will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]
Selecting previously deselected package libpgsql2.
(Reading database ... 75899 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking libpgsql2 (from .../libpgsql2_6.5-3_i386.deb) ...
Selecting previously deselected package postgresql.
Unpacking postgresql (from .../postgresql_6.5-3_i386.deb) ...
Although you have no existing database files in the standard locations,
you have a postgresql directory at /usr/lib/postgresql
To protect executables that you may need for dumping an older
database, they are being moved to /usr/lib/postgresql/dumpall/unknown
Setting up libpgsql2 (6.5-3) ...

(the stuff in /usr/lib/postgresql seems to be libpq.so.* and psql)
This is on a recent (until the mirrors broke :) ) potato system.
