I don't do any of this and am not a useful datapoint, but I am heading
for one or more custom CRS definitions.  Not sure if I need them in
postgis or just qgis.

However, with packager hat on,  I think it's a good thing to somehow
clearly separate

  A) entries under the control of postgis

  B) user entries

and the idea that

  category A entries get wholesale replaced with package entries on
  upgrade, and

  category B entries are never touched

  the effective entries are the union of A and B

sounds right to me.


Also, insttall X, upgrade to Y should result in the same state as
install Y, to the extent feasible.
