Package: dbconfig-common
Version: 1.8.11
Severity: important
Justification: renders package mostly unusable

Hi, 

dbconfig common failed to install the database for my package because
the postgresql-client package was not installed which prevented
dbconfig-common from creating a user for the package. The following
error is output

sanity check failed for createuser.
error encountered creating user:
No pgsql createuser to execute. (have you installed postgresql-client?
dbconfig-common: ccsd configure: aborted.
dbconfig-common: flushing administrative password
dpkg: error processing ccsd (--install):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 ccsd

I notice that you already suggest postgresql-client but I believe this
should be a dependency as the package is unable to operate successfully
without this utility installed.

I've added a dependency on postgresql-client to my program as a
workaround, however my package uses the python libpq bindings so this is
a redundant dependency. 

(Note: I am using a backported dbconfig-common package for Sarge, but
I've kept the dependencies the same, so there is no problem there). 

Please consider adding a Depends for postgresql-client to the
dbconfig-common package. 

Kind Regards
