I made it grave, because package simply will not install: the preinst
failed; and as far as I can tell, that counts as a grave bug:

Preparing to unpack .../137-diaspora_0.6.0.0+debian-7_all.deb ...
psql: FATAL:  role "diaspora" does not exist

(and I don't know why the postrm failed too).

Ah, OK thanks.  I've purged it and will start again - it will probably
be more successful this time!

Ah, no, it gave up on diaspora-common, because it's trying to connect
with debian-sys-maint to port 3306, which is not where postgresql is
connected.  And I can't find an obvious way to change it.
