I think handling this via virtual provides is suboptimal, because it will decrease interoperability between Linux distributions. An application designed for say Red Hat will say
Required-Start: postgresql and that will then fail to install correctly on Debian. The alternative might be to dump all the postgresql-x.y init scripts and put a single "postgresql" init script into the "postgresql" package that starts all clusters of all versions. That might actually be preferrable for various other reasons as well. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
