Sorry. I don't remember you saying whose build you installed, so
I'm not sure whether the packager will be tracking this list. If
not, you might want to look for another venue to raise the issue.
Of course, if you feel comfortable adjusting the script, you're in
good shape to work around it yourself. If you go that route, you
might want to look at my attempt at an LSB-conforming script to see
if any of that is useful for you. When I suggested this script
there were objections that it was too long and that most of that
logic really belonged in pg_ctl, so I just threw it into the Wiki in
case anyone finds it useful:
