Well, they do work. If you stay on upstream's path, then things will work, but then of course you cannot expect the distro integration bits to work (like automatic startup in the init scripts, upgrading, logging into the proper places, default configuration for log rotation, etc.). > Should I file another bug on inadequate installation > instructions?

I'd be absolutely happy to improve this. The question is, where to do it? So far I deliberately don't put the initdb programs into the $PATH, but pg_* tools are in the path. Would it have helped you if there was an initdb in the path which told you about the distro tools? We could also patch the upstream initdb itself to point out pg_createcluster maybe.
