Bug Description
Binary package hint: postgresql-8.4
After a purge and a subsequent installation the startup script /etc/init.
This link:
says that the script shout be installed along with the main package "postgresql-8.4, but this is not true.
Re-installing the package won't produce the needed script in /etc/init.d.
And, anyway, how can I have my postgresql server back up and running?

I worked the problem around by:
1. re-installing all the previously installed packages
2. PURGING all of them
3. re-installing again
I think that the uninstall scripts for some postgresql related packages is not working properly.
Where purge will assure a complete cleanup.
