This could bei solved using uid/gid directly:
chown -R 209:209 

This would also work in doinst.sh


If this package ist build once, and then is installed on various other boxes, 
it's the same outcome.
manual user/group creation is then needed which is covered by the readme.

It seems postgresql does not actually need a special user to be build.
And if it would, the makefile could bei adjusted.
