The reason I have not attempted to use debconf is that I do not believe
I can afford to automate queries on postgresql installation. The safety
of data is involved and I do not want there to be any chance of the
user's accidentally deleting his data through reliance on an automatic
process.
If this really becomes a problem, I could abandon my current policy of
attempting to do major upgrades automatically, and simply leave the
database untouched but needing manual intervention before it can be
started. (Of course, this only applies when there has been a change in
the database format that requires a dump and reload.)
Perhaps other PostgreSQL users would like to comment on this?
