Fine for me; of course I cannot force Debian users to use
pg_upgradecluster (the script that contains all the hairy details and
checks), there are people who do it the manual way.

I just reported it here since other distributions have the same
problem, so knowing the official upstream approach is always helpful.

Thank you,

Martin
