I am packaging an application that needs to create a database. By

I may have missed it in the documentation. I have been reading various
tutorials, the _New Maintainers' Guide_ and the _Developer's Reference_
but not cover to cover yet. Could someone please recommend the
appropriate reference?
Probably in post-inst. I know that postgresql-8.3 creates a
database, so you might want to examine it, or it's source package.

Scientists are people, too. IOW, they also "crave power, money,
respect, and influence, and they also fear for their jobs. Each
can be a healthy motivator, but each has the ability to turn a
good scientist into a bad one; and in some cases, they can turn
a good scientist into a charlatan."
