I've checked the package in the DebianGIS git and it seems they removed
the postgis-gui package or maybe the Jérome changes hasn't been pushed.
In my opinion, I think we should keep that -gui package. You should
forward this thread to debiangis list.

Ok, Evan R pointed out the postgis-gui package which I hadn't seen
before.
where does it come from? I don't see it either in the Debian or Ubuntu
official package archives.
I went ahead an used that but noticed that it doesn't put a menu
item in or show in unity app searches. Now the question is where to file
that enhancement request. ie. A gui is nice but kind odd when you have
to know the CLI call to launch it.
It's pretty easy, just make a postgis-gui.desktop file and in the
packaging tell it to install to /usr/share/applications/ [do that in
debian/packagename.install]. The menus will auto-assemble based on
the Categories=; line. See many of the install_*.sh scripts on the
osgeo live dvd for examples of what it should look like, or just browse
around the /usr/share/applications/*.desktop files.
full details on the freedesktop.org site, but they seem to like to
keep people on their toes by maintaining a moving target for the spec.
(to be fair I'm not sure how much of that is them and how much is due
to gnome whims)

Ya I'd like to pass that tip on to whoever manages the package, looks
like Jerome is a candidate to figure it out.
