Or the new user will go 'apt-get install postgresql' and have all the various packages downloaded and installed for them. Alternatively, if they only *want* the server and not every PL under the moon, with all the various dependencies that may involve, then can 'apt-get install postgresql-server'.

Please don't do the same for PLs. It may need to be done for PLs in the end, especially as more and more are done (which may happen once it's made easier to do, and examples are available, and something that anyone could do on their own and provide a sensible build for, since it doesn't have to be in the main build tree). Perhaps the interfaces are still in alot of flux, but this is actually not exactly unheard of when things start taking off more and more- the big universal package gets split up with well defined interfaces into seperate pieces so that new pieces can be created more easily and maintained in a distributed manner.
