Well, see, the GnuMed bootstrapping does a lot more advanced
things regarding "the database user". There's users and groups
with varying levels of access to the database.
However, if dbconfig-common creates the admin account we just
use it. We can also deal with the fact that the database is
pre-created, no problem.

Agree. We might need to double-check but I think we are in
good shape on that already.

I think you need to be very clear on what you mean here. There
is an admin account for *PostgreSQL* (eg. postgres in most
cases) but there's also an admin account for the database
"gnumed" inside PostgreSQL (usually called gm-dbowner). The
latter one owns all objects in that database and grants rights
to other user groups.
