Package: postgresql-common
Version: 85
Severity: important

Hi,

The pg_ctlcluster does not allow to use all pg_ctl options, the -m
option in particular is much needed. User reports failure to stop or
restart their PostgreSQL server with /etc/init.d scripts, and
resorting to pg_ctlcluster is not helping at all.

Even worse, debian packaging makes /usr/lib/postgresql/8.X/bin/pg_ctl
tool non-usable, as it's unaware of where to find the .pid and the
.conf files given the PGDATA var (/var/lib/postgres/8.X/main/data).

Please export all pg_ctl options to pg_ctlcluster wrapper script in a
way allowing the user to effectively control its debian PostgreSQL
clusters.
