I think this does not work. One use case here is a buildd that
tries to build something that is a PostgreSQL client, which then
runs a DB server during its testsuite.

I really think that the initscript needs to wait here, possibly
pretty long (DB recovery was already mentioned) – after all,
pgsql comes from BSD land “better slow than unsafe”.
