However, the most typical need for clients is onlyt the binary 'psql' in
order to access the database interactively. The other programs are
typically installed only on server due to security (you have to log IN
before you can do adminstrative things on server).
Split the package in two:
1. ship /usr/bin/psql exclusively (with man page) in
postgresql-client
This would be in par with the other <program>-client packages, like
openssh, mysql etc.
2. put the other programs in, say,
postgresql-admin
Since the rest of the binaries are used for administrative things.
The slit will also help distributing and restricting correct programs
in each client that needs or doesn't need them.
