Surely the only people installing from the command-line are those that
want to. There's synaptic or yum or whatever to let you search for
"postgresql" and handle all your dependencies for you.

I mean *I* compile from source when I'm testing betas or want to
backport and there's no package but I can't imagine most Ubuntu users
bother.

Now something to let you install extra modules, tune your
postgresql.conf and pg_hba.conf - that's useful. If it can explain as it
goes along, all the better (like "bastille linux"?)
