Bug#1056303: pg_createcluster destroys data directory under certain conditions

Package: postgresql-common Version: 248 Severity: critical When I tried to use "pg_createcluster" to configure my pre-existing PostgreSQL data directory with a new Debian install, it deleted the whole cluster with all databases instead. (This serious data loss justifies "severity critical"
