Package: postgresql-8.0
Version: 8.0.3-12
Severity: important

Installing postgresql-8.0 creates /etc/passwd entry for user postgres with
shell set to /bin/false -- this way it's impossible to su to user postgres
to create users, databases etc. I suppose there are tools which can do this
without shell but imho su-ing to user postgres is the most obvious, simplest
(at least for software developer like me ;-) ) solution and therefore should
be supported in default install.

Regards,
Max
