Backup /etc/postgresql first. From my memory:

$ pg_dropcluster --stop 9.4 main
$ exit
$ aptitude upgrade
$ su - postgres
$ pg_createcluster --locale en_US.UTF-8 9.4 main
Right, except pg_createcluster only works as root, and
it takes options. Lots of options. I did not know all
the locale, lc_*, encoding, etc. options, so I settled
for --locale=C --encoding=UTF-8 which sounded the most
close to what I’d personally be doing, here.
And this is the reason I still don’t know if I introduced
any changes into the DB now or not…
$ exit
Here in this place I had to manually compare all files
from /etc/postgresql against the saved ones and transfer
changes to the new files in /etc/postgresql manually.
$ /etc/init.d/postgresql start
$ su - postgres
$ psql -f backup_today.sql postgres # User/DB access
$ exit
Or: sudo -u postgres psql postgres backup.sql
