Bug Description

The prometheus-pgbouncer-exporter only opens a socket to an existing pgbouncer daemon if pgbouncer is installed and running. Exporter does not use a psql client or talk directly to PostgresSQL services. This package does not need to depend on postgresql-common at all, and doing so leaves the client with a full, unexpected, and unmanaged installation of postgreslq-server running on it.

If this is being done to re-use the postgres service account, this is a security issue as the unexpected sql server never gets configured off the package defaults.

This package should either reuse the generic service account, or just create one for itself.

This exporter was last updated 8 years ago and according to Debian #991879 it is non-functional.

Switching to the pgbouncer_exporter from the prometheus-community github likely makes more sense.
