If it's ever going to happen then the likely place would be in a Linux
distribution or a re-package of PostgreSQL. I'm sure no one would be
suprised if Red Hat had a new release with dbd, ~db, sql (or keeping
PostgreSQL in it pgsqld, ~pgsql, pgsql)...

Indeed a lot of the current inconsistencies are packaging issues...
