The issues you mention, are those issues with modules we provided? Or with
modules we depend on?

In all honesty, I have no idea. I never tried. But it seems like something
we should support all around, that is when creating the database *and* when
consulting it. Supporting it when consulting seems rather silly if we can't
create it. So, I created an issue for it in the project tracker:

Actually, you probably saw the "Import" radio button in the screen where
you were creating the user? Selecting that allows you to use an existing
database user as a LedgerSMB application user.

Actually, my list wasn't complete: this was fixed on April 11 and is part
of beta5. Upgrading should help you out. The problem is that the
initialization is in the global section of the code, however, with the code
being pre-loaded (i.e. loaded outside of the context of one specific
request), there *is* no locale since there's no user. So, the variable
initialization has moved.

This is the regular instruction, but really isn't necessary for LedgerSMB.
Even, I'd say that it's better *not* done. (I'm working on the installation
instructions, as you noticed...) The reason that you may not want to do it
is that you can run multiple parallel instances in case you don't install
the libraries globally. Testing upgrades is easier that way too. I've even
removed the possibility to run this command from 1.5.0-beta6/-rc1.
