No. My system didn't have the "postgres" user before installation. I can reproduce this problem like this:

    apt-get purge --auto-remove postgresql*; deluser postgres; apt-get install postgresql

The error message is exactly the same. Invoking apt-get -f install finishes the installation properly.
